Mountain Home Airport (U76)

After following interstate 84 to the east we slowly start to approach Mountain home. The air was calm and the only chatter on the radios was from a piper taxing for take off. The cockpit work load felt light, my pattern was excellent and my buddy even seem to be at ease on short final.  After landing we hurried off the runway so the piper could take off and taxied over to the airport shop.

The airport shop resembled that of an old west convenient store complete with the covered porch and old timers talking about “back in my day”. The facilities were nice, the people were friendly and even offered to take a photo for us.

Airport Suggestion: Donuts and Coffee, I would fly here every Saturday if I knew I could find some good donuts and a cup of coffee 🙂

Question: When the piper was taxing I assumed he was back taxing down the runway, unaware Mountain Home had a taxi way. How could I have know the airport did in fact have a taxi way? I go to AOPA and print the kneeboard chart – what do you do when flying the a new runway?
