Airports in British Columbia, Canada

History Dog Creek Airport, becker@ goldcity.net 250/983/3319

Ihave many pictures and much information

super cool folks. I recently completed a water improvement contract for BC Parks at Smelt Bay adjacent to Hansen airfield, Bought gravel from Jim and Diane, got to know them a bit, very nice folks, real salt-of-the-earth people. Watch out, 4 hours will pass and you'll still be drinking coffee, hearing great stories from Jim and Diane. The guy has a nice new little Hitachi excavator and an old Cat dozer, that airstrip is getting better and better.

have fun flying here....

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?
