Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport (KDIJ) is a small general-aviation field on the floor of Idaho's Teton Valley, a mile north of the town of Driggs and within sight of the Teton Range. Its single long, lit hard-surface runway and high field elevation make it a distinctive high-altitude airstrip for sim pilots to practice performance-limited operations in mountainous terrain.
Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport serves the town of Driggs in eastern Idaho's Teton Valley, close to the Wyoming border and the western slopes of the Teton Range. It is a small, uncontrolled general-aviation airport with a single long runway, and its notably high field elevation of 6188 feet makes it a useful and demanding destination for simulator pilots wanting to fly realistic high-altitude density-altitude operations.
The airport sits beneath Class E airspace that extends upward from 700 feet above the surface, an arrangement recently modified to support instrument flight procedures at the field. It lies about a mile north of Driggs, Idaho, on a 184-acre site, with Alta, Wyoming roughly 5 kilometres (2 nautical miles) to the east-southeast and Victor, Idaho about 18 kilometres (10 nautical miles) to the south.
Driggs/Reed Memorial has a single physical runway, 04/22, 7277 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS at the field.
Traffic should monitor and use the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.7 MHz for airport advisories. An automated weather observation is broadcast on ASOS 120.775 MHz. En-route contact with the overlying centre is on 132.4 MHz, and Salt Lake City Radio can be reached on 122.05 MHz. There is no instrument landing system published for the field.
The airport is located about one mile north of the town of Driggs, Idaho, on a 184-acre parcel, with the town itself and the Teton Range to the east serving as prominent landmarks for locating and joining the field.
Driggs/Reed Memorial is a small, active general-aviation airport with its own operator website. Pilots should be prepared for the effects of the airport's high field elevation of 6188 feet on aircraft performance when planning arrivals and departures.
