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!

I would second Roche Harbor. Tricky -- best to land uphill and take off
downhill. I believe Tacoma Narrows has finally got a decent restaurant.
I have a whole list of favorites, but it is at home, of course, and I
am in the Philippines watching a typhoon (the fourth one this month --
cabin fever is beginning to set in).

I have found the Western US Pilot's Guide
http://www.pilotpub.com/id1.html to be helpful whenever I am looking
for someplace cool to fly.
