January 20, 2008 - Flying "W" Airport Pictures

The temperature was around 25 degrees today with clear skies, bright sun, and biting wind. The Flying "W" Airport is a new destination and there was a bit of confusion getting setup for sign-in. There were two buffets available. The food was good. This place is an actual airport with a runway and planes taking off. We even saw a helicopter maneuvering around close to the ground. I have videos.

Behind this door was the line.

Just down the back walk were the planes.

The plane kitty

To the left of this walkway was the plane-shaped swimming pool (with water) while the planes sat to the right of the walkway, some covered and some ready to fly.

A quaint little village setting lay at the top of the walkway.

Looking into the sun, down the runway.

The entrance ramp led to the staircase that led to a very long line to check-in. See video
