[Vwdiesel] Northwest dieselfest ' 03..

[Val Christian]

It's an interesting concept.  Copalis Beach is S16, and I fly out of 7G0.
It looks like the route would run about 2005 miles, and about 16 hrs,
with at least a couple of fuel stops.  I could visit my folks in Minnesota
on the way.

Now if I don't make it in the 182, any chance I could check in on HF?

Meanwhile, we should hope that the Copalis area politicians don't decide
to dig up the runway for reasons of homeland security (a la Meigs Field).

You guys out in WA land sure know how to make a nice airport, right on
the beach!
