I would recommend flying into KBFI. We used AeroFlight as the FBO if memory serves. They had a shuttle to the Museum of Flight, no ramp fees, and I seem to remember getting complimentary tickets to the museum. We were staying with family, so I don't have a recommendation on lodging. The controllers [seattle Approach] are used to folks asking to take the "scenic" route. As you can imagine it is busy airspace, but I felt comfortable and the sights were just spectacular. Have a fun time!

Learn how to protect your airport by promoting it Mitch and I are happy to be part of the panel for an upcoming AOPA Webinar.

I just did my landing pucks. It wasn't $1000. They were $87 each from LASAR, plus shippin times 12. Plus installation. I have to say that the difference is very dramatic. From taxi to landing, smooth.

Bob and his wife were able to join us at the Porterville [KPVT] Ambassador event. He is selling his beautiful J. M20J/201, 1977, Very good to excellent condition-----------for sale.
