As we were headed to Spokane for a Lord Huron concert, we took the opportunity to visit some North Central and Eastern Washington airports. Here’s what we found!
Othello Municipal Airport (S70)
As is expected with most “east side” rural Washington airports, there’s not a lot here except agricultural operations. Othello Municipal has no pilot lounge or other facilities other than private hangars and wind. The Passport mailbox is next to the fuel pumps.
Othello has significant ag ops, and got a new runway around 2015, replacing the original of ~3500 feet by 35 wide (~4100 feet with overruns) with a 4000 x 75-foot strip (~4600 feet with overruns). The old runway now serves as a discrete taxiway.
Lind Municipal Airport (0S0)
Lind is a lonely, barely-still-there airstrip. There are no services or fuel, nor does there appear to be any aircraft based there. The only activity we could detect was a new coat of paint on the “LIND” marking, a Valley Flyers (Auburn) 182 with an unfortunate flat tire, and an owl roosting in one of the unused hangars that Katt spooked off! Kind of sad, really.
Pru Field (Ritzville) (33S)
Pru Field is one of those airports where one suspects it used to be a busy airport, but is now on life support. There are no services or fuel, and it appears there may be a single aircraft based here. There is a large parking area with tie down spots that suggest it used to be a busy place. Frankly the best thing that came out of our visit to Pru was realizing that downtown Ritzville is on the same side of the tracks and contains several historic buildings.
After the show we stayed at the historic Davenport Hotel in Spokane and the next day we went to five more airports!
