Key Takeaways:
The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, maintaining, and creating backcountry airstrips and recreational flying opportunities across the U.S.
RAF achieves its mission primarily through volunteer work parties, often in partnership with government agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and support from aviation companies like Daher Kodiak.
These efforts are crucial for providing access to remote wilderness areas, fostering a strong community among pilots, and maintaining essential aviation infrastructure.
Individuals can support the RAF's work by volunteering their time, skills, and resources, which contributes to the collective effort of preserving these unique aviation experiences.
You’ll find a little piece of your soul in one of these places, I bet you.
The airstrips defended and nurtured by the Recreational Aviation Foundation have triggered an urgent message to keep them safe. They represent some of our most precious resources—places for pilots to touch down and gather—beyond the physical runways they contain.
