It's a one way strip because of trees at one end. It's also in a valley that the White River runs through. You can fly into the paved airport close to the Flipping VOR and they will come get you or at least they used too. The Food is great, call for the restaurant's operating hours during the fall & winter. It's good enough fishing and eating that Garth Brooks among others go there. Most weekends there will be several nice tailwheel aircraft sitting on the grass where they belong. They have a web site just google gastons.

Yeah, I already looked through the site. It really looks nice. Seems like the price is pretty reasonable too. Especially with the winter rates.

The grass strip airport in England just North of Gatwick Airport and South of London. I don't remember the name, but it is a nice field! I saw it on the Gatwick departure.
