Seattle area flying sites
« on: June 16, 2010, 07:15:12 PM »
Hey I'm going to be in the Seattle Tacoma area from 06/24 or so till the 3rd of July.  I'm driving up from Phoenix and I'm bringing a couple of planes.  I need to know where and when people fly Saturday or Sunday mornings? My brother who live there needs to learn how to fly.

Hay, Dave...IF you promise NOT to bring a box of Krispy Kreme fat pills...call me when you get here. I'm in the So. King Co. book.  We have one site (Tacoma Narrows Airport) that is "club members & guests only" (due to property owner's agreement), and one site where we're just poaching the lot of an empty warehouse compound...so we need to be, uh, discreet. Safety cones surrounding the circle at both sites, etc.  There are a few other places on the map page of our website: http://www.nwskyraiders.com/maps.html  River View Park, Arlington Airport, and Carkeek Park being relatively local. The others are either out of town, or like Thun Field, once a year only.  H^^ Steve

I would have thought you would have forgotten the donuts.  I'll give you a call. How tall is the grass at the riverview park site? The plane I'm bringing is a good trainer but I want to teach over grass if I can.

You'll want to get out early in the morning.  It can get up to 50 degrees F by 8:00.

It was 46F at 4:30am today. Electric sox might be useful. You can probably get them at Cabela's in Lacey.
