I know I have brought this up before. I got a letter today from the Recreational Aviation Foundation, RAF. I know a lot of you already know about this, so this is primarily for those that don't.

The RAF does a lot of behind the scenes work helping states to preserve existing backcountry strips, and to develop new ones. I have attached a copy of this letter to show you that this is an organization that does get shit done.

If it wasn't for groups like this, and there are other good ones, we wouldn't have a lot of the strips that we have today, to go do what we love.

So I bring this one to your attention so that if you feel like you would like to help keep this sport alive, and growing, this is a good way to help/participate.





Thanks for your time and Have a Happy New Year

Wanna sign on but no website, says it's broken .

You can call the # on the letter head.

It must be a temporary outage. It has been working up til about a month ago at least.

Looks like their web host is hosed.

This is a good outfit. I've been in touch with them about volunteering to find suitable recreational locations for pilots in the Pennsylvania mountains. So far as I know their website is still functional. Here is the link: http://www.recreationalaviationfoundation.org/index.htm .
