Cessna Citation down in Penn Cove, WA

Yea, tell me about it. Heh, I should grab some SCUBA gear.... Anybody wanna
buy a slightly waterlogged Citation? I dunno about his charter flight out of
Whidbey though. The biggest I've seen at Lupien (which is only 2 mins from
my house) is a Pilatus PC-12, which stops by every now and then.

Oak Harbor/Lupien is over 3000', plenty long for a variety of light jets,
especially given the utter lack of obstructions at either end (which is
definitely not the case for Langley ).

Alternatively, maybe they got permission to fly out of Coupeville.

If not Coupeville or Oak Harbor, I can't imagine he'd fly out of anywhere
other than Paine Field. PAE is great for jets, and not far at all, even
including the ferry ride. It's entirely possible the witnesses who said he
took a charter jet from Whidbey Island didn't know what they were talking
about.

True. I don't know much about light jet ops, is a 25' wide runway wide
enough?

It's wide enough, but the length (3000') is a little short for anything but
the straight wing Citations (considering accelerate/stop distance).

I saw a jet parked at Roche Harbor once. Longer runway, but obstructed at
both ends too.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the witnesses were mistaken and
the guy's ride picked him up at Paine. But it's theoretically possible for
a chartered jet to have gotten him at Oak Harbor.
