Many people enjoy the outdoors, and these folks will occasionally use small airplanes to help them reach remote areas where the fishing, hiking, or hunting is the best. Whether it’s a floatplane gliding down to a hidden lake or a taildragger landing at a remote mountain dirt strip, General Aviation (GA) opens a whole new world for thousands of people.
If trouble strikes or someone becomes lost, GA will be used to conduct an aerial search-and-rescue campaign. If they’re injured or become ill, a medevac flight will whisk them to a medical care facility.
Wildlife management programs that use GA will help ensure that the game these sportsmen photograph or track are well protected and that their needs for habitat are fully appreciated.
