Thanks for the heads up. I didn't figure it to be too bad. I have driven
through there a million times and only recall seeing a handful of military
aircraft myself, but I wasn't really paying that close attention.

I will check out Air America while I am there......thanks again for the info
everyone.

I am going to be flying to Moses Lake, WA in a couple of weeks. Anyone
familiar with Grant County? According to the AF/D, it is busy with
military traffic. Just curious....

Busy? Hardly.

Grant County Int'l is a tremendous airport out in the middle of nowhere
(former airforce base and a designated space shuttle alternate landing
site!). Yes, there's some military activity sometimes, and yes, some of
the airlines use it for training (gotta use all that pavement for
something), but to describe the place as "busy" is laughable. Most of the
times I've been there I felt like the guys in the tower were angry at me
for interrupting their naps or poker game. I've probably been in there a
dozen times, maybe more, and only recall seeing another airplane moving
once or twice.

It's one of the sleepiest airports with endless pavement that you're
likley to ever visit. No problemo.

For an FBO while you're there, I recommend Air America. They'll treat you
nice.

Hope that helps,
