Tacoma Narrows: Days Numbered? Claiming that the city-owned airport is losing money, Tacoma’s City Manager Eric Anderson recently floated the idea of selling the airport to another entity, or simply clos- ing it outright. The airport is owned by the City of Tacoma, but is located outside the city limits, on land in unincorporated Pierce County Anderson says he believes the airport has lost money for a decade, and claims its financial situation is worsening. Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma expressed disappointment at the grim financial picture recently painted by Anderson. Critics point out that closing the airport would require the city to repay substantial FAA grants and expose the city to substantial financial liability, but Anderson has indicated he believed that revenue from the airport’s sale would be enough to cover any obligations, and feels that “stopping the bleeding” might ultimately prove more important. He added that he understands that for a lot of people, the airport is “not a small item,” and that he doesn’t recommend doing anything quickly. Airport supporters point out that business and operations at the airport are actually on the upswing, with a developer planning new condominium hangars (whose revenue some say might actually make up for any existing deficit the airport is running). AOPA has reminded the city’s leaders that the airport is obligated by grant assur- ances to remain open until at least 2025. Anderson says he doesn’t believe the FAA can require an entity to run an airport at a loss, adding that the airport sits on “prime development land.” Tacoma Narrows (TIW) is the only civilian airport in Pierce County capable of handling medium-sized business jets, serves the community for medical and emergency flights, and is home to many thriving aviation businesses. In a 2001 state study, the airport’s economic impact to Pierce County was estimated at more than $20 million. The Port of Camas-Washougal, the owner/sponsor of Grove Field (1W1) in Camas, has been studying ways to improve and upgrade the southwest Washington field. Improvements on tap include extending, widening and realigning the runway, con- struction of a new taxiway south of the runway, and the possible acquisition of land bordering the airport’s east side where a mobile home park is currently situated. The FAA is standing by with grant money ready to help fund the improvements. But some local residents are organizing to block the move, fearing that a larger airport might someday bring jets and commuter airline flights. Airport supporters insist that’s not realistic, and are urging the Port to proceed with the proposal. New Fuel Pumps at Quillayute The news isn’t all bad at airports around the state. New 24-hour, self-serve fuel pumps were recently installed at Quillayute (UIL), bringing a welcome option to top off the tanks with the first reliable all-hours fuel in this remote corner of the state. Funded Facing budget shortfalls, the Tacoma City Manager has proposed selling or closing Tacoma primarily through local funds provided by the City of Forks (which owns and operates Narrows Airport (top). The FAA has funding ready to help improve Grove Field in Camas (cen- the former Navy field) with additional grants from the WSDOT Aviation Division, the fuel ter), but some local homeowners are pressuring the Port of Camas-Washougal to refuse the pump system was installed during the spring. grants. At Quillayute, a new 24-hour self-serve fuel pump system was recently installed.

GET OUT AND FLY MORE – OREGON’S TILLAMOOK AIR MUSEUM AN IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION OF HISTORIC AIRCRAFT IN AN UNFORGETTABLE SETTING.

The collection at the Tillamook Air Museum includes a wide range of aircraft, with everything from vintage warbirds and small general aviation aircraft, to curiosities such as the “Mini Guppy” (above left), a parts-built modified Boeing 377 Stratocruiser designed for NASA to transport spacecraft components. One historic blimp hangar (above right), remains from the airport’s Navy days.

These events are not sanctioned or promoted by WPA, but are provided to you as an aid in identifying flying events in which you may want to participate. We try to make sure the inform tion is up-to-date and correct. However, things can and do change at the last minute, so before you head out, we strongly recommend you check with the person listed with each event to insure the event is still scheduled. Also, you can go to “Events” on the WPA Website at www.wpaflys.com and find expanded and updated information on some of the events listed. There are just too many great activities that are held every year that we only hear about after the event. WPA wants to correct this situation by trying to list all of the flying events within the state or surrounding area. This can only be done with your help, our Chapters, and our other members sending in news of events in your area. Please email all information concerning events to [email protected] or call or fax the news item to (425) 228-6330. Help us make this calendar in WPA Wings a very useful item - so send in the events!
