I've got an uncle that used to fly a 172 out of Pt Townsend. My grandfather had a Grumman Tiger in the mid-80's. Flew in and out of there a few times. Not sure if you would know him or if he was still flying out of the airport anymore, his Name is John Davis.2024-01-30 12:34:45Flyhound I don't know a John Davis, but there are a lot of folks at the airport I don't know. There aren't any Tigers based on the field that I know about. There is one Grumman TR2 that flies almost every day, but the 2 seater is a far cry from the Grumman Tiger. There are a LOT of hangar doors that I never see open though, so he and the plane might be around but aren't very active.2 years ago -

Well, I don't log in on for most of my visits to BCP.org, so I don't always see when messages are posted to this group. Today is 4/12, my taxes are done, and I saw the sun for the first time in a week this AM. No backcountry flying today, but I'll probably head over to Seabiscuit Bakery at Whidbey Airpark (W10) for breakfast this morning. I just hope my plane hasn't forgotten how to fly...2023-04-12 15:34:33
