“I have, and always will, champion preservation and access to backcountry airstrips as a user and volunteer. It is such an important part of my life,” Bruce “Sparky” Parker says.
His passion for flying the Idaho backcountry began early, as his father was a pilot for the US Forest Service, based in Boise, ID where Sparky grew up, and now lives with his wife Colleen, also a pilot. They currently own and fly a Super Cub, a Vans RV-4, and a Cessna 182. He and Colleen enjoy spending time at their cabin on the edge of the Frank Church Wilderness, just one mile from the Big Creek airstrip.
