Re: Tuweep L50

Congratulations and thank you for your tireless efforts! Tuweep is a place I've long wanted to visit and I'm thankful for the RAF and people like you that have the savvy and patience to navigate the political world to affect change. =D>

Re: Tuweep L50

I would sure like to see this open. I may never go there again due to the fact that as I get older I seem to have fewer fun tickets. My trip there with my son on about 10 years ago is a great memory. We biked to the rim and just thad a really great time of it.

Re: Tuweep L50

Hi gang, It's been a wile, but Arizona has a new governor and a new state land commissioner! Governor Ducey committed to us, during his campaign, that he would support equal access to state trust lands. He ousted the previous state land commissioner that had stood against aviation, and we are hearing from various legislators that the new appointee is a breath of fresh air. Senator Griffin met with the Governor a couple of weeks ago and presented our case and received a positive response from the governor, who even offered to meet with us. In the mean time, we started working with the new commissioner's staff to get a meeting set, which is now on for October 15th! We are very hopeful, especially since we now have a state attorney general's office opinion supporting the position that we've held in every meeting with the previous commissioner, that being that the state has complete immunity from liability as long as they treat aviation as any other recreational access, not requiring some special lease or other revenue generating fee. In other words accepting the existing $15 permit that every other recreator pays to get on state trust land! We'll keep you posted!

Outstanding. Never been here but it's been on the list of places to visit for a long time.

Re: Tuweep L50

Any news on this airstrip? Did some heli scouting for an upcoming job today out of Vegas and came close to it and got curious.
