I think that many of you are aware that our annual Paine WPA Chapter work party at the Skykomish Airport is on Saturday, June 15 beginning at 9:00 am but how many of you really know about the larger picture? There are 15 airports that are operated by the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation division. Below is a map of the 15 WSDoT managed airports showing their location:
Many of these airports have a sponsor recognized by the WSDoT and identified on their website: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/aviation/Airports/AdoptAirport.htm. In many cases it is a local WPA Chapter but other organizations are helping as well. Sadly some of these airports are lacking a sponsor as you will see below:
- Bandera (4W0) – Fall City Pilots
- Copalis (S16) – Needs Sponsor
- Easton (ESW) – Needs Sponsor
- Lake Wenatchee, Leavenworth (27W) – Lake Wenatchee Recreational Club
- Little Goose, Starbuck (16W) – Tri-Cities WPA & EAA Chapters
- Lower Granite, Colfax (00W) – Spokane WPA Chapter
- Lower Monumental, Kahlotas (W09) – Needs Sponsor
- Methow, Winthrop (S52) – Methow Valey, Okanogan & Ferry Counties WPA Chapters
- Ranger Creek, Green Water (21W) – Green River WPA Chapter
- Rogersburg, Anatone (D69) – Green River WPA Chapter
- Skykomish (S88) – Paine Field WPA Chapter
- Stehekin (6S9) – Needs Sponsor
- Sullivan Lake, Metaline Falls (09S) – Deer Park WPA Chapter
- Tieton, Rimrock (4S6) – Washington State Snowmobile Association (WSSA) and Green River WPA Chapter
- Woodland (W27) – Needs Sponsor
So when our Paine Field WPA Chapter goes up to Skykomish on June 15 this year we are part of a much larger effort to help Washington State look after the 15 WSDoT managed airports.
