Start your planning to attend the 3nd Annual Sullivan Lake, WA Gopher Gaggle fly-in and work party at beautiful Sullivan Lake State Airport (09S) in Northeastern Washington. You can find the airport at these websites: 09S AIRNAV & WSDOT-SULLIVAN LAKE.
This event is co-sponsored by the RAF and the Washington Seaplane Pilots Association (WSPA). It’s held in collaboration with the Deer Park Chapter of the Washington Pilots Association (WPA). The clean-up/ work portion will be under the direction of the Washington State DOT Aviation Division. It's hard to beat this fly-in for scenic beauty, fun, camaraderie and great food. We'll plan to fill gopher holes, trim brush, and other light duties for 2-3 hours on Saturday. The rest of the time can be spent hiking, swimming, eating, fishing, visiting, and admiring airplanes. There's lots of room for airplane parking and camping on the airport. There’s also shoreline seaplane parking. The shoreline seaplane parking is about 600 yards from the camping
area. Last year we had 38 airplanes coming and going over the weekend. This year will be more fun with more airplanes. Hopefully, some guitar playing and other quiet live music may happen Saturday evening.
The Cavanaugh Bay, ID (66S) fly-in is held that same weekend and from there it’s only 27 NM northwest to Sullivan Lake. You can do both!
Come and join us that weekend. Friday night’s meal on your own with a community fire to gather around and visit. Saturday night is a “bring your favorite dish” potluck dinner. We’ve had to drop the steak feed this year because the logistics were getting out of hand. It was becoming increasingly difficult to fly everything we need in – so Saturday night has gone potluck style this year.
More details will follow. Definitely put this fun fly-in weekend on your calendar.
Please RSVP Bob Kay at rkay@theraf.org
 
We'd like 4-5 planes at the Ribbon Cutting for Tacoma Seaplane Dock (above, 6/5) as an aviation presence.
