Salmon Air Base

Located in the southeast corner of Lemhi County Airport on the outskirts of Salmon, Idaho, the Salmon Air Base is the operational home of the Salmon Heli-Rappellers, and the premier rappel base in the National Rappel Program. This facility serves as a hub for national rappel readiness training and all-hazard incident response, providing access to specialized rappelling equipment and helicopters equipped for a wide variety of missions. The base facilitates ongoing training in rappelling techniques, fire behavior analysis & suppression, and emergency procedures, ensuring rappellers remain prepared for rapid deployment into some of the most inaccessible and rugged terrain in the country.
