There is a new strip in the breaks , it is at the mouth of Arrow cr . On the bluff above the river , it is mowed and marked with cones and has 2 wind socks. 12-30 is 1,650’ with a slight rise on 30 and 06-24 is 1000’ it has some small dips and small bumps. It is a privet strip but people are welcome to stop by.

Yes it is.
The Breaks are looking great this year! Pics from last weekend:
Heads up folks. The fuel pump at Winifred is inop at the moment. Get fuel before you arrive if needed. They are hoping to have fixed soon.

Thanks, Laura! Lewistown is the nearest gas to Winifred. About 30 nautical miles.Originally Posted by cafi19

Let's hope the hangar door doesn't go inoperative this year. Big heroics by Ralph, a contractor, and the local REA to get it back up. Everyone seemed to roll with the situation.
Thanks. cubscout
The fuel is Fixed!

Early arrivals helped with the last-minute chores and we are mostly ready. We had some landings in sporting winds today but things look better for the weekend. Low to moderate winds, temps 70’s and 80’s. Frank has the bar-bq warmed up and the sky is giving spectacular Montana sunsets.
Great first day of the Breaks fly in! 30ish airplanes so far!

Thanks for the videos Eric....I always seem to say 'next year'...
Definitely see a variety of planes.

Met some mighty fine folks that make the annual pilgrimage to the one and only Winifred. Nice to see new faces and new planes. This event definitely has a healthy following. A few smart phone pictures that really can't sum up event. I bailed Saturday hope you had a good last day!

Thanks for posting the pictures and videos. I wished I could have made it this year but it came during the middle of our haying season.

Yep I kept scanning the sky for the other gun guy Dan. See you in 2022

I was going to post some photos, but for crying out loud mine pale in comparison to Eric’s photos!
Thanks for putting these up! It was a really good time in Winifred, enjoyed by not only those of us who flew in, but also by those who brought their families over to see the airplanes.
Here is a family with four little boys, all under the age of 2.5…
Many thanks to Ralph Rogers for organizing this event, to Lou Furlong for being Ralph’s right hand man, to Mike Vivion and the MT Pilots Assn for the BBQ dinner and the Fine People of Winifred, Montana. You made us feel right at home, and we appreciate you all very, very much!

Oh, what the heck, here are a few more photos…

Is this some of your handiwork?
Were you in PKD yesterday? Looked like your SC. I was there working on my plane on the east side of the FBO. Respitory issues have me grounded for a bit. Would have loved to have gone to the fly in.

What’s Lou buying, some dishwashing soap to put in the fajitas?

Eaton....I thought about it but you never showed up! You need to get your sorry ass out West with the big kids....like old times! We miss you.

For all the folks who attended the annual Missouri Breaks Fly In this year, thanks for attending, and enjoying some of this fascinating and beautiful part of the world with us!
As always, Ralph did a great job getting things organized, and Frank prepared a very nice brisket supper on Friday evening.....for 66 attendees! The Hangarburgers on Saturday evening were just as tasty, also prepared by Frank.
The Lewistown Fly In was not as heavily attended in past, but the date change and breezy weather may have discouraged many. For those of you who made it there for the pancake breakfast, Thanks for supporting the Montana Pilots Association's Central Hangar, the host for that event.
This is the first year that the Montana Pilots Association (https://www.montanapilots.org/) co-sponsored the Missouri Breaks Fly In, and I considered it to be a great success! Take a look at the MPA web site, and on our home page, you'll see a picture of my old Cessna 170 parked at Cow Creek on a beautiful summer evening, many years ago. The Breaks are dear to my heart, and it's great to see so many others from all over this great country visit this special place.
For those of you who missed the event this year, please put next year's event on your calendars, and plan to attend. Same place, probably same dates. Ralph and I are both raring to do this again!
And, Eaton, if you don't show up, we WILL talk about you!
MTV
Mike, when I go to the MPA home page I still see a picture of my Cub on skis at Meadow Creek?

Dan,
Youre looking at the home page on the “mobile” version. As you scroll down, you’ll see a menu pop up. There should be a “Desktop” icon there. Click that and you’ll see the desktop version.
I need to change that….except I’m still really partial to your picture and beautiful airplane.
MTV
There it is, your old 170. I didn’t realize there were two versions. I was looking with my iPad.
