COEUR d’ALENE — If you spend any time in Hayden or the northern part of Coeur d’Alene, you’ve probably noticed the small planes that frequent the airspace. They don’t quite reach the altitude of commercial planes — they cruise around 5-7,000 feet, to be exact.
This past weekend, I got the chance to ride shotgun in one of these planes, which fly out of Coeur d’Alene Airport-Pappy Boyington Field in Hayden. As I often share in this column, I’m constantly amazed by the natural beauty of North Idaho. But to see it from 5,000 feet — wow.
