Hi folks, Who's been to Scott's Island WV08....I'm planning a WV trip and would love to stop there. Thanks Greg
Have you come across this thread? There was some discussion of this strip. It's a neat little spot but don't expect to walk anywhere for lunch unless you brought your swim trunks.
I have been there. Grass strip on an island not much larger than the strip. I think it's a little less than 2000' grass was good condition. No problem for my 172 with no wheel pants. Obviously approach is over the water. I just wanted to "collect the strip" so I didn't try to arrange transportation to the mainland. I have been told that the owners may ferry you to shore of someone could meet you with a boat. It is private and you have to obtain permission before landing, I'm glad it's in my logbook. Will probably try to fly there again this summer if the rain ever stops...
I got the info from AirNav. I don't use ForeFlight so I can't say if it has the correct info or not... Airport Ownership and Management from official FAA records Ownership: Privately-owned Owner: O. W. MEADOWS & JOHN SCOTT 13-132ND ST CHESAPEAKE, WV 25315 Phone 304-949-5714 Manager: O. W. MEADOWS, JR. 13-132ND ST CHESAPEAKE, WV 25315 Phone 304-949-5714
So unfortunately the number has been disconnected. I may have found a few leads on a proper contact but no luck yet. Seems like the owners are both in their 80's now. Fingers crossed as this looks like a fun spot to land.
