About Us

The Mountain Air Pilots Association was founded to promote aviation safety at Mountain Air and to contribute to the education and welfare of the local community. In addition to raising funds for charities, MAPA holds seminars on flight safety and makes safety improvements to the Mountain Air airport. The airport also provides year-round access that allows Mission Memorial Air Ambulance Service to reach critical care patients in the area when access to the valley is denied because of foggy conditions. Under those conditions patients may be transported by ambulance to the Mountain Air airstrip and retrieved there by the Air Ambulance. A number of the pilots also participate in Angel Flight, an organization that flies patients to get health care, and flies donor organs to places where they are needed.
