Mission
Roundup receiving their courtesy car
The State of Montana has been helping eligible Montana airports get Courtesy Cars.
These cars are available for pilots to use to get around upon arrival, as long as they chip in for gas.
Myself and a few friends have decided that it is absolutely imperative that we survey these fine vehicles. Perhaps we'll take in the sites and the local restaurants in the process.
Check back often
We've got 16 airports to visit. Our goal is to see at least two per month if the weather, and our aviation gas money co-operates. As we go we will be flying some of the most beautiful country in the world in our trusty Cessna 172. Kicking the tires on the courtesy cars enjoying General Aviation and sampling the local cuisine.
Townsend receiving their courtesy car
We'll let you know how it went, what we saw, and how we got there. A little bit about the airports themselves, the terrain, where the keys to the car are, and who makes the best chicken fried steak or ham and eggs or reuben or open faced turkey sandwiches in the state!
