RYAN FIELD NEAR WEST GLACIER READIED FOR SEASON
Ryan Field, 2MT1 has been prepared for this year’s flying season thanks to RAF volunteers, directed by RAF’s volunteer Ryan Field Operations Manager, Dave Schuler. Water is on in the pilot shelter, firewood is stocked, the restrooms in the barn are available, and the turf runway is mowed. Visitors will enjoy the new multi-purpose kiosk installed by Oregon RAF Supporter Kevin Johnson and a crew of volunteers. Funded in part by RAF Supporter Sherry Sherod in memory of her husband, bush pilot William Neal Sherod, it includes power where visitors can charge devices, and view RAF information. It’s located on the east side of the runway.
All pilots must obtain this year’s current Safety Briefing prior to use. Note that due to US Forest Service road work and timber hauling on Ryan Road, use of the courtesy car is limited to necessary brief trips.
For full information on the many features at Ryan Field, and to make reservations for one of the four hard-sided camping cabins, see the Ryan Field webpage.
For more airfield information and the required Safety Briefing, see the Airfield Guide.

Thank you to all of the RAF volunteers who prepared Ryan Field for summer 2025. The Cessna 180/185 Club appreciates all that RAF does to maintain and improve this amazing asset! Thank you Kevin for hauling the new kiosk all of the way to Montana!
