By General Aviation News Staff · October 2, 2017 ·

Bidding is now open for the Recreational Aviation Foundation FUNdraising Auction.

Items up for auction range from VIP tours of Garmin’s headquarters and the Boeing Paine Field Factory, to a Hartzell propeller (valued at $5,000), an Aspen Avionics Pro Plus Primary Flight Display and much more. Items are being added daily, RAF officials note.

An impressive group of aviation industry leaders is supporting the RAF mission to preserve, maintain and create airstrips for recreational access. They have donated top of-the-line equipment and services for an online auction.

Thanks to these generous friends of the RAF, the full value of each item can go to RAF projects.
