Recreational Aviation Foundation
Preserving our Airstrips

In the Backcountry Update section of our Winter 2004 issue, Pilot Getaways highlighted an important organization that is fighting for our continued access to airstrips: the Recreational Aviation Foundation.

This volunteer, non-profit, charitable organization has made great progress in keeping airstrips open, improving existing facilities, and even opening new airstrips in the backcountry. With your help, they can continue to protect airstrips from potential closures, and pursue new opportunities for backcountry airstrip expansion and improvement.
