Today I had planned to fly down to Olympia and pick up one of my daughters who had the day off. I was going to take her to lunch at Bremerton and return to Olympia.
When I landed at Oly, the tower asked me where I wanted to park. I replied that I wasn't too sure--- I wanted to meet my daughter at the terminal. They asked me what kind of car she had and spotted her with their binoculars. After directing me to where she was, we found the terminal hadn't opened yet and there was no access to the field. They then directed her to the tower parking and let her out their field access gate. What service!! I wonder if I would have gotten the same attention if I had a 150. At my home field they recognize me right off and generally grant my taxi clearance without me asking. Ercoupes have many advantages! On the lunch. On the way to Bremerton we had to dodge too many low clouds and rain. During the time between when I gotten the weather brief, and when we were actually on our way, things had deteriorated enough that I landed at Tacoma and took my daughter to lunch and back to Olympia via the freeway. :-( Cheers: Paul N2409H
