Hey guys... born and raised in seattle but since im stuck flying out of Miami I don't get up there as much as I would like.

Since I am only up in Seattle one week a month I never considered purchasing an aircraft up there.. Until... my brother started to take flying lessons.. and now wants to split a plane!

Nows my chance to cross off all those state airports! What's the best deal in hangers\tiedowns near seattle? I am sure BFI would kill me... renton?

Also anyone know of a reasonably priced CFI whos looking for work!? my brother has the touch! should be an easy license.

thanks guys.

I have a nice Champ for sale, hangar in KOLM (Olympia)

Neat! i love champs!

Champs rock! Check out Harvey Field (S43) they have some good deals on hangars, a good restaurant, family run and overall good people.

I looked into this last summer. I remember a few of the prices, but they might have changed.

Cheapest tie down I found was Monroe at $40 / month.
Auburn was $80 / month. I ended up tying down there because it was close to my sister's house (Free Taxi, woo hoo!)
Renton and Boeing I seem to recall being each a little over $100/month for a tie down.

I didn't check hangar prices since every place seemed to have waiting lists to get one.

Also, 76 station on Auburn Way just N of 15th St. (extremely close to Auburn airport) had ethanol free gasoline.

I have a nice 172 I'll sell you!! I also own a Champ and personally if I had to keep an airplane tiedown outside I prefer it to be a metal aircraft. Just personal opinion of course.
You can find decent 172's out there for not much more than the price of a Champ, J-3, etc. A 172 is a good all around and very versitile plane.
Good Luck,
WW

There is a guy who is trying to sell a M7-180 Tricycle gear in the area.

Harvey Airfield S43 http://www.harveyfield.com is still reasonable.
