Any Seattle Area Pilots?

[chambersdj]

Howdy All. I notice there are a few of us in the Northwest. I am considering putting a list together of us PNW newbie (or experienced) pilot types so we can stay in touch. What do you think?

On another note, I am not going to let the rain "dampen" my spirits and plan to fly from KBFI tomorrow. Maybe practice some landings in Tacoma or Renton. Anyone else going up this week before the big turkey day?

Forgot to add: Been a lurker here for some time and this is my first post! Student pilot. Took lessons 20 years ago and restarted a couple of months ago. Plan to get my ticket before summer and begin instrument work. Fly out of Boeing Field in Seattle. Lifelong Washingtonian.

No longer in the beautiful PNW, but did my first flight training at KPAE (Paine Field) and got my PP rating at Tacoma Narrows (KTIW) before moving to Texas...

Thanks for the replies!

So much for my hopes of flying today. Geez, clouds down to the ground much of the time. I am hoping (not counting on it) that tomorrow we get a little git of open sky. My father-in-law is wants to go out and fly around with me.

Give a holler if you make it down to "America's Vancouver" one of these days (tho not this weekend -- we're visiting relatives out of town).

I think that's a great idea, and will give ALL of you better chances for finishing and being excellent pilots.

PNWF is an excellent suggestion. Great bunch of folks on both sides of the US/Canadian border hang out there. I fly out of OLM, but not enough recently. Too much travel and other distractions.

Already meeting lots of great NW pilot types. Sounds kind of sappy, but there is a lot of truth to the term "Aviation Family".

You will not meet a better group of people!

I grew up in Seattle, and that area is my favorite place to fly.
