Scappoose is uncontrolled and *busy*. Not as busy as Aurora State a
bit further south, but still, I haven't been in there at any time in
the last year when there wasn't at least one other aircraft in the
pattern.

Folks are right, tho. You can put a light single down on the taxiway,
there's flat grass on the field, and there shouldn't have been a go
around.

I haven't seen more than a blurb on the radio news and a three
paragraph thing on oregonlive.com. Any better place to go for a report
on the Scappoose accident?
