A WIN-WIN METHOD TO HELP THE RAF: DELTA SKYMILES FOR BUSINESS

Did you know that the RAF is a Delta SkyMiles for Business member? This means that when you book a ticket on Delta, the RAF can receive points for your travel. It does NOT affect any of your SkyMiles or other bonus programs. It is purely a benefit to the RAF. We can redeem the points we earn through your travel for benefits on Delta, and receive tickets for the RAF to travel to events.

Below are the directions for how to sign up. When you add the RAF as your business loyalty program in your SkyMiles account, it stays in your profile, eliminating the need to put our SkyMiles number in each time you book a ticket.

Instructions:

1. On the Delta homepage, login to your SkyMiles account
2. Under “SkyMiles” at the top of the page, navigate to “Manage Your Account”
3. Under “My Profile” click on “Other Loyalty Programs”
5. Under “Business Loyalty Programs”, click “+Add” in the “Business Travel Program” section and select “Delta SkyMiles for Business”
6. Enter Loyalty # US0056924 and click “Save”

After doing this, the ID should auto populate on the “Passenger Info” page whenever you are booking while logged-in.

If you book by phone, with a travel agent or a Delta Representative, you will need to provide the booking agent with our loyalty number, US0056924. Please ask your travel agent to place the SkyMiles for Business ID in the Tour Code Box. Tickets issued by Expedia, Travelocity, etc, will need to be manually entered to your SkyBonus account in order to earn credit. These types of travel sites do not have a place in which you can add the company’s SkyMiles for Business ID.

RAF AWARDS GRANT FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF HCRC

February 24, 2026

Oregon RAF Liaison Bill Ables has been awarded a $5,000 RAF grant to retain RAF membership in and support the Hells Canyon Recreation Collaborative (HCRC) for the next five years. The HCRC was organized in 2016 at the request of Idaho’s Congressional Delegation as a framework for the various recreational user groups to collaborate with the US Forest Service within the 652,488-acre Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Ables, a past Director and current member of the group, explained that HCRC membership is a cross-section of user groups from both the private and commercial sectors, including river rafters and jet boaters, backpackers, horse packers, aviators, and governmental management agencies. Providing ongoing support ensures continued aviation representation. The rugged Snake River canyon region hugs the borders of northeastern Oregon and western Idaho, and includes nine backcountry airstrips within the Recreational Area. All are maintained by volunteer aviation groups in collaboration with the USFS: Cache Creek, Salmon Bar, Dug Bar, Temperance Creek, Pittsburg Landing, Sluice Creek, Lord Flat, Memaloose, and Big Bar. “Our support of HCRC, combined with the other involved aviation groups, ensures ongoing maintenance and improvements at each of these nine airstrips. It benefits general aviation by preserving access to enjoy the beauty of the Hells Canyon area, which directly speaks to the Mission of the RAF,” Ables said. For more information on Dug Bar, Cache Creek, Big Bar, and Memaloose, see the Airfield Guide . Pittsburg Landing, Sluice Creek, Temperance Creek, and Salmon Bar are not listed in the Airfield Guide at this time. Submitted February 24, 2026
