"Backcountry landing strips allow people to enjoy forest
and parks, support state economies through recreational activity,
and play a vital role in access to research, management, aerial
mapping, and disaster relief... This bill will ensure our
backcountry airstrips remain in operation, maintained, and
accessible."

Idaho senators who recently introduced the Backcountry Landing
Strip Access Act into Congress. AOPA is strongly supporting the
bill.
