07/17/09- Runway to Close at 6:30am July 21st
The Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport is slated to be closed on July 21st for two months. The FAA has mandated that the airport meet C-II design standards for the aircraft already using our facility or they will not fund any runway resurfacing project. This mandate was given to the City of Driggs in late September of 2008. In order to meet the standards for C-II classification there are longitudinal grade limitations, larger safety areas, transverse grades, and other requirements must be met. Both the runway and parallel taxiway and connectors to the west will be reconstructed.
Work will begin in late June on the surface to the east of the runway. The airport will close on July 21st when work will begin on both the runway and taxiway. Work crews will be onsite Monday through Saturday from 6:30am to 10:30pm. The runway is scheduled to re-open in late September.

10/01/08- Another Excellent Backcountry Safari Complete!
This year saw the completion of another safe and successful backcountry safari. The preparation and planning of Dr. Rich Sugden paid off in spades, as we enjoyed the best safari yet! It’s not easy to organize over 25 airplanes and 48 people! But everyone did a fantastic job, proving that we do get better with practice and experience! Kif and Dawn Brown and their cadre of assistants did a fantastic job of keeping everyone fat and happy with excellent cuisine when we were on the ground at Johnson Creek. Thanks to everyone who made it, and we look forward to next year!

05/24/08- A Happy Customer!
I was on a business trip with time to kill...
And it was my birthday so I could
rationalize any expense. Initial phone
contact was with with Randy Hughes.
When I arrived at KDIJ, Randy was very
generous with his time showing me the
facility. I intended to fly the XP but
Randy’s afternoon was full so he
suggested I soar with Sam Lea. Calls
were made, L-13 towed, and I had the
experience of the decade. Sam’s
instruction was textbook perfect. An
Okie flatlander power pilot was aloft
over the Tetons for two hours. Now I
am hooked.
You have a great crew, from front desk to
tug operator and Spike the tow pilot.
