[Talk-us] Where to find airport information?

[Clifford Snow]

Montana, like many western state, need help in rural areas. I have been
wondering about an outreach program with local ag extensions, or Future
Farmers of America, 4H, Boy Scouts, etc. I attended a small county fair
last year. The local Future Farmers did a demo of remote subs they using to
map ocean floors. It was part of a NASA (I think) program to get kids
interested in science.
