Port Townsend, WA
S16 Copalis Beach airport is a cool place, allegedly the only official beach airport in the US (??),
and also allegedly the only place in WA where it's legal to land on a beach.
What with the nice wx we've been enjoying, and the unexpected time off work for many, it's been getting some use.
WS-DOT Aviation Division just closed it, citing the CV crisis, here's the notam.

[/FONT]I just emailed the state aviation guy in charge of this airport, Paul Wolf, to bitch about it.
If enough others do the same, maybe they'll rescind the closure -- doubtful, but possible.
