AK pilots...commute from San Juans?

[LandGreen]

Just curious if there were any SEA based pilots commuting from San Juans. THIS place is apparently walking distance to the local airport.

Thx

I know a guy that does it. He flys his own Cessna to Boeing field.

Sorry, try THIS new link. It is brand new on zillow, they seem to do a better job of giving you a feel about the area.

Anybody commute on Kenmore? Thanks

Don't know about the commuting possibilities, but, just for reference, as far as I know, Kenmore doesn't actually go to the airport on Lopez, rather they land at Fisherman's Bay on floats. Nevertheless, it's beautiful there, pretty cool if you could pull it off.

I commute out of the San Juan Islands in the summer. It usually is fairly simple if you plan ahead, but the weather can change quickly and you always need a back up plan. There are a couple of water taxi operators that serve Anacortes from the San Juan Islands. Island Express and Paraclete charter are the most reliable. It takes 2 hours to drive from Anacortes to SeaTac without traffic. Kennmore is always great to jumpseat on. They have fixed wheel scheduled service out of Friday Harbor and floatplane service from most of the other islands. If your planning on living in the San Juan Islands I would suggest renting for a while on several different islands to see which one fits your needs the best. Each island has it's own personality. Life in the San Juan Islands is the best! Good luck!

Is this another guy ?? Or the guy that actually flies over to BLI and commutes on horizon ...

I'm talking about the guy that has spent the last 15 years building himself a private castle on one of the islands. Seriously.

His house is crazy !! Amazing .. Place .. And craftmanship .. But he flies from island over to BLI .. 10 min flight .. and commutes on horizon to SEA .. From there ..

Also has 2 stanly steamers .. Very rare 12 possible 16 pax version

Sure would be easier to own a plane, fly to mainland to fill up on Costco stuff...fly back and avoid the ferry lines! Now we just need pay raises!! Sure is beautiful area tho!

35 minute flight to Boeing

I am one of two Alaska guys that commute via Cessna, occasionally use fixed wing Kenmore or Horizon from BLI. In the winter it's ferry, plus a two-hour drive.

The other guy has the castle

Well Alaska hasn't had USAPA negotiating for them for the last 7 years. They can afford a nice house.
