Latest Updates!
Pilot Destination Update - Friday Harbor Airport, Friday Harbor, WA
"The walk to the ferry terminal area of town is about 15 minutes from the transient parking area in the NE corner of the airport. There are a few restaurants and things about 10 minutes into the jaunt. Ernie's Aviation Cafe is on the NW side located on the field. Be sure to check the hours. Most things in FH seem to shutdown around 7pm, although I'm sure there are at least a few options after that. Worth the flight, that is for sure!" - Submitted by Russ Longdon

Winds of Texas - Backcountry Pilot
This last Spring I made it down to Texas to attend the first annual Texas STOL Roundup, a fly-in and competition organized by my friend Phil Whittemore. Phil picked me up at Austin International in his Skywagon, and after sampling local taco truck we headed out to his home base at Spicewood airport, which was experiencing uncharacteristically calm winds , and an amazing Blue bonnet explosion.
