Here's a cool video of landing and taking off at The Chicken Strip.

And here's a video I created about The Stove Pipe Wells Strip.

I learned about the Goler Heights strip by running into these muddy guys at Badwater. I bet the pilots did not appreciate these dudes four wheeling on the airstrip.

I believe Bonnie Claire is also used by bush pilots to test their skills. I bet someone has landed their plane on the Racetrack Playa but I can't find any evidence of such online.
