Have you used one of the RAF Pilot Shelters? Bozeman MT, Ryan Field MT, Escalante UT, Arcadia FL.
If so, how was your experience?
I ask because I am requesting RAF grant money to partially fund a pilot shelter/lounge facility in Southern Colorado at the Astronaut Kent Rominger Airport (KRCV), Del Norte. This will be a 20X30 foot building with small kitchen, restroom and shower. Small covered porch area with BBQ grill. A small classroom/common area as well. Phase two will be several prepared campsites adjacent to the building.
KRCV is within one hour flying from: Creede, Pagosa Springs, Marble, Morning Shadows Ranch, La Garita Creek Ranch, Quarter Circle Circle Ranch, Sand Dunes Swimming Pool, Grant Besely, Murrow on the Divide and 1-2 hours from the rest of New Mexico's wonderful BC strips as well as the Utah Back Country. All Wonderfull strips with camping, hiking and biking.
My vision is for a facility that pilots can refresh and refuel which exploring our incredible area by airplane. A great layover place as well for those heading to Idaho or Utah from the South and East.
One of the questions that I know the Grant Committee will ask is "what kind of support do you have for this facility?".
Sound like a good idea to you?
Thanks,
