John Belz's Aviation Page






On 9/9/9 I passed my checkride and became a certifiable pilot. I enjoy backcountry flying and recreation, in my adopted state of Utah and elsewhere.





A visit to Death Valley, California, March 2026. Includes a stop at Furnace Creek Airport (211 feet below sea level), Chicken Strip and Saline Valley Warm Springs, and Owens Lake/Lone Pine at the base of Mount Whitney.





The 185 is a great place from which to view the fall colors in the Wasatch Range. Also some short clips from our adventures on the ground.
