It has one 4450' runway at an elevation of almost 7000' - could be challenging for a decent percentage of private jets.
Highly recommend Craig, good runway, friendly people

Craig gets two thumbs up. The scenery on a flight west from there to Dinosaur National Monument / Vernal UT should impress anyone.

One consideration would be to download and fly potential locations on Condor. Most of the Western US is now covered by various maps/sceneries on Condor2. For MT that would include the Yellowstone and Ronan sceneries.


To update this some, Condor Club now has "NW Montana" and "Yellowstone Park" that cover parts of MT. There are other great sceneries that cover the Sierras, Cascades, and Great Basin/UT as well. Worth checking out.
