Mystery Airport location

Post by Brantford Beech Boy »

during a recent trip through the ole logbook, I came across an airstrip I landed at a few years ago (mid 2000s) somewhere up in NW Alberta or NE BC. In my logbook, I have the strip listed as PADDY and PADDY NORTHGATE.

The flight time for the day was about 5.7 (YYC-YEG-PADDY-YEG-YYC) so I figure the strip is about 400nm-ish from YEG

Anyone know where the strip is (lat/long would be great).

I can't seem to find any google or google earth info. searches come up with nothing but irish pubs.... :/

Cheers

Paddy airstrip is just inside the BC border north of Fort St. John. Been past it many times on my way to Ring Border camp to ix helicopters.

If I did this right, here are the coordinates to find it on Google Maps.....

57.783596, -120.241136

Should be able to plug those into Maps and it'll show you where its at.

Wow, nice job tiggermoth. Couldn't you have posted it 2 minutes earlier though? We're aiming for magic answers in under 1 hour here.
