The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) is joining forces with the Washington Seaplane Pilots Association (WSPA) for a fun weekend of camping, a work party, and fly-in on August 19- 21 at Sullivan Lake (09S) in Northeastern Washington. It is a grass strip at 2600 feet elevation and 1765 feet long. Density altitude is an important planning factor for this one. Go to Washington State DOT and AirNav for more information.
There is plenty of room for parking seaplanes and wheeled airplanes. Campsites are available both on the field and in the adjacent Forest Service Campground. Saturday night the RAF and the WSPA will furnish steaks, corn on the cob, and salad.
Sullivan Lake offers great swimming, fishing and hiking opportunities for everyone. We are working with the Washington State DOT and the US Forest Service to create a work plan to do some field improvements and clean-up work on the runway and in the camping area. More details will be provided to those that RSVP.
Put this event on your calendar and let's have some fun together! It is possible to drive to the lake should you decide not to fly. Come for the whole weekend, or just the day if you like. Please RSVP to me as soon as you decide you are coming so we can get an accurate head count for dinner.
Hope to see you at Sullivan Lake!
