JRBAF Acquires Land for New Sierra Nevada Backcountry Airstrip

The Jackson Hole Aviation Foundation (JRBAF) has announced its acquisition of land adjacent to Meadow View Peak in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This strategic purchase represents an initial step toward developing a new backcountry airstrip at the location, aiming to enhance recreational flying opportunities. The foundation is currently undertaking a $200,000 capital campaign specifically designed to fund this ambitious project. Initial plans involve creating a publicly accessible aviation destination within the scenic and challenging environment of the Sierra Nevada. JRBAF anticipates that this development will significantly benefit local pilots seeking access to remote areas for flight operations.
