About Jets Over Montana
Starting out as Jets Over Montana, Montana Afterburner is the premier Model Jet Event based in Whitefish, Montana at the Glacier RCers Model Aircraft Field. Featuring an 800 FT x 70 FT Paved Runway with fully paved pit area, on-site bathrooms, RV/Camper Parking, and a solar charging station! Come fly with us at the most beautiful field in the Pacific Northwest!
Jets Over Montana first started back in 2007 with a little over 10 pilots from just a few states. After a hiatus from 2009 until 2021, we started back up in 2022 and had a successful year! 2023 was our best year to date with over 28 pilots and 40+ aircraft! We hope to capitalize in 2024 with our best year to date.
***FRIA UPDATE: The field has been approved for an 800 FT Altitude FRIA.***
A Note from the President of the Glacier RCers:
Last year we were initially turned down by the FAA for a FRIA. We are in class D airspace. We had to contact our Congressmen and reapply. We now have a FRIA. Our ground footprint is approximately ¾ mile East and ¾ mile West of the center of the runway. The north limit is ¾ mile from the pilot stations. Since we are in class D airspace our altitude limit is 400’ AGL. These limitations are out of our hands.
