Hi Everyone-
I was wondering if I could pick the brains of some of you with more
experience than myself.... Can any of you recommmend some great pilot
destinations in Washinton or Oregon? I'm aware of Friday Harbor and
Hoquiam, but would like to find other airports where a pilot can land
and either easily get into town (without renting a car....) or eat at
one of those great on field restaurants. Any Ideas would be much
appreciated. The 100$ hamburger book/website is nice, but for some
reason seems a little lacking in what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance!
Download Goodle Earth and turn on the airports function.
As you zoom into a region, a little airplane symbol appears.
In the toolbar, there is a measurement tool to determine distance from
point A to point B is you want to walk.
From overhead, if you double-click on the approach end of a runway, you
can tilt the image down to simulate what the approach picture will look
like. Then use the forward button to "fly" to the runway.
