The aviation history of the Dog Creek, B.C. airport both before and after WW-2 is covered in a full chapter in my book "North by Northwest" which is available from the author and publisher. The book lists the history of each airport in the Okanagan, Cariboo and from Prince George west to Prince Rupert. Visit the web site creeksidepublications.ca for full information.

I was always fascinated by this forgotten piece of Caribou history. It would be cool if a group of people could be granted permission to restore the runways and use it as a recreational fly-in site for light aircraft and ultra-lites etc. Someone with good writing talents and enough info could print a small booklet on it's history and maybe use the sales to help fund restoration. Just a thought.Safe flying.

Hi there...... stumbled across this forum and was reading with interest. You wouldn't be Earl Becker - would you ?

I lived on this airport as a kid - would have been in the early to mid 50's - there was about 8 to 10 families there at that time. My father was a radio operator there, and i went to school up to grade 3 in the 1 room school.

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone knows of a manager or contact regarding the use of Dog Creek airport. I am a student doing a simulated prescribed burn plan for the area and I want to use the airport as our hub for fire operations.

The field appears to use the standard triangle layout used for the BCATP.

Dog Creek is mentioned on the following websites:

One runway looks as though it was 7000 feet long with the others at 6000 and 5500 feet. My guess is military operations during ww2

well what do you know? from satellite images it looks as though it was at one time quite substantial? Was it for the war? How long was it in operation?
