Who We Are

Backcountry Santa is a group of volunteer pilots that fly necessities to members of the Navajo Nation in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. We also fly other missions to support Native American communities on an as-needed basis. Pilots throughout the Intermountain west (Utah, Arizona, Neveda, and Colorado) with an intererst in backcountry flying support our efforts. Our pilots volunteer their time and aircraft. Our primary mission is flying.
