Message from Sonja Locke:

"Aviation plays an important role in rural communities such as Wallowa County in the northeastern corner of Oregon. General aviation provides both a link to the outside world for emergency services as well as recreational opportunities in the backcountry.

The purpose of the Wallowa County Pilots Association is to promote general aviation and work to keep our backcountry strips open and maintained as another method to enjoy the vast wilderness area right in our own back yard. These strips also serve as emergency evacuation for injured recreationalist or as a supply chain for businesses in remote areas.

In order to promote aviation and educate the public on it’s benefits, each year the Wallowa County Pilots Association and Chief Joseph Flyers hold a fly in at the Joseph State Airport. Featured attractions include classic aircraft such as the only flying Boeing B40, a DC-3, and a Stearman among others. We also give free airplane rides and serve a pancake breakfast.

This year to help defray some of the costs, we have decided to sell raffle tickets for a generator. It’s a perfect tool to load up into an airplane or an RV and bring on a camping trip or use to provide power for a work party at one of the airstrips in the backcountry.

We hope that your company can help us with this endeavor to promote and keep general aviation alive and well in small communities."
