March Fly-Out to Harvey Field

Despite some low clouds at departure time, we had a nice flyout to Harvey Field for March. The clouds in Port Angeles prevented Richard and Mary Ann Howell and Dave Woodcock (with Charlie King) from getting off, but Bud Davies (C-152), Rick Stoffel and his wife (RV-4), Ernie and Jeanne Hansen (Swift), Bill and Dot Shepherd (Swift), and Tim Alentiev (guest from Norman Grier Airport in his RV-10) all made it. Richard Humphreys and I came in my PA-11. Guess who was the slowest!

We landed on runway 33R and found a string of small pendants (or something similar) across the runway, just short of the threshold. Turns out, there is a fence there that is not easily seen and the pendants did a good job of assuring we didn’t hit the fence.

The restaurant (Buzz Inn) has been recently renovated and we all thought it looked very nice. We were all seated at one table and conversation was constant and lively! Some thought the menu was new; in any case there was plenty to choose from and the meals were excellent. While we were there, our local Olympic Peninsula weather improved and the flights home were under high (20,000 ft) skies with excellent visibility. All in all, I’d say this was a good, spring flyout!
