Beautiful weather in the NW!

Anything unsual or out of the ordinary about the pattern/approach? Any
helpful tips for landing there? I always like to solicit feedback and
get first-hand info about "new" airports (to me). I'm going to Baker
City, Oregon, for the holiday and will be scheduling time with an
instructor, wx permitting.

It's a great coast destination. If you walk out of the the parking area
to 101 you can cross one direction of the highway, climb a set of stairs
set in the hill and cross the other side. There's a restaurant right
there, and you can get to the beach by walking through the nearby
neighborhoods.

Haven't landed there but I checked it out from the ground. Doesn't look
like there are any surprises there BUT, keep your eyes peeled for the Oregon
Trail Interpretive Center up on the nearby hill, and if you look northeast
you should be able to see a faint crease in the landscape, which are the
wagon ruts on the Oregon Trail

The Interpretive Center, by the way, is fantastic.

very cool! I didn't realize there was an OTIC there! I've been to the
one in Baker City, though. It's a good one. My wife worked there one
summer in college.

Anyone landed in Baker City, Oregon? (KBKE) Any suggestions? I'm going
there over Thanksgiving weekend and will probably try to get checked out
with in instructor in their planes while I'm there, as well as get
familiar with the area from the air.

Now, if you had done a touch and go at Flying M, then we would be impressed.
Although, it is actually possible to do one there if one doesn't slow down
too much.
God, I love Flying M.

My last stop before heading home was a T&G at Woodland.
This is a neat little strip just yards east of I5.

Wow, I thought *landing* at W27 took courage. I didn't know anyone was
crazy enough to do T&Gs!

Pacific City is another good one. Land and walk across the road to Fat
Freddies, or whatever the name is, and get good food and look at the
pictures of airplanes that have landed into the restaurant.

I have done a touch and go at Pacific City. Also Toledo. I've been to
Flying M. I alway want to stop there, so I haven't tried the T&G. One guy
who flys a 172, and used to fly helicopters, took a ride with me and
commented, "this thing flys like a 'copter". I wish I could afford a
chopper, but that isn't in the cards.
