November is
National Aviation month

By Stacy Bender

So how does one go about actively exploring the Nationally Registered, annually designated month-long period of time which has been earmarked to celebrate the world of aviation?
Read a book, visit a museum, talk to a pilot, go for a ride, listen to a podcast, watch a video, find an upcoming airshow near you.  Or… take a drive out Farm to Market Road and enjoy the incredible views of the Cabinet Mountains while learning about one of the Northwest’s most beautiful landing strips right here in Libby, MT.

Libby Airport sits at an elevation of 2,601 ft.  With a runway 5,000 ft long and 75 ft wide, the

local aviation facility is open to the public and requires no landing fee.
To the naked eye, a fairly serene and quiet landing base. For those who stop to inquire, perhaps a chance encounter with one of several storied pilots who cruise the runways nearly undetected.
