Will the Pawnee be stationed there continuously?

You met our friend Ross, he owns a Vietnam era Loach helicopter........super nice guy.

Do you live in Wa State?

The Twisp season "starts" around the end of June and goes up till the WX turns, generally around the end of September.

The Pawnee will be coming on-line next season and the plan is for it to be stationed there and on-call for towing duty. The more business the better for keeping them interested and at the field.

We have a club house the airport has given us, now we just need to stop flying long enough to finish off the interior etc.

Any thoughts about providing training?

I spent a goodly amount of time trying to find someplace in the northwest to get my 15 year old
son some glider dual this summer. We did manage to get him in the air a few times at Hood River,
but it was challenging to juggle his schedule (sports and summer classes), with the schedules of
tow planes/pilots and instructors.
