HANSELMAN REMEMBERED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION

Many of us still peruse our copies of the late Galen Hanselman’s pilot adventure guidebooks, Fly Idaho, Fly Utah, Air Baja, and Fly the Big Sky. Driven by his passion for the backcountry, Galen spent countless hours compiling these chunky field guides, full of useful aviation information, seasoned with photos, history, and folksy quips. Regrettably, Galen passed five years ago in May, but RAF Chairman John McKenna speaks for us all, saying, “We still thank Galen for all that we all enjoy because of his work.”
