I spoke with the property owners of the land across the river that was once the Riggins, Idaho Airport. The owners actually live in Asotin, Washington. In our converstation they said right now they are not interested in re-opening the runway because the land is for sale.
The owners of Salmon River Helicopers are however interested in puchasing the land and if so are definitely interested in re-opening the runway. I don't know if the current owners would be interested in selling just the 20 or so acres along the river where the runway was located. There is no access to the property except by boat or airplane. Maybe a guy could pick up the ground fairly cheap $800 to $1000 per acre?
Anyway thats the update.
