Derby Airfield (KLOL)
We took a daytrip from Burning Man Black Rock City Airport (88NV) to Derby (KLOL) and then Mammoth (KMMH) near Yosemite on Thursday, 1st September. This is the first leg of the tour, with a very eerie airport we landed at for fuel. Heat, no wind, no person in sight, but the door is open, and one can refuel if only he follows the documented procedure & has a credit card. Oh, and an old MiG 15 parking around…
