Default Minden Airstrip Review

The Truckee database covers the exact same area and is much more current. It is maintained by Sergio and myself. Last update was earlier this year. Still it may have outdated data, but at least anything that was brought to our attention was corrected. I recommend anyone flying from Reno area to use the Truckee database. However as others pointed out, if you can't get high enough (over 12K) it is not worth trying to go XC here. If you are at the normal altitude band, there are only few airports we occasionaly land at: Carson, Rosachi, topaz international, Hilton ranch, swee****er, alpine county, Bridgeport, Mamooth, Lee Vining, Bishop, Hawthorn, Yerrington, Mina, gabbs, Austin, Flanigan, Susanville, Sierraville, Nervino.
These are the ones that comes to mind. I may have missed few. You probably don't need to consider more than that.
