Low-flying planes over Olympia
Submitted by Rick on Sat, 10/15/2005 - 5:58pm.

The Olympian reports that activity at Olympia airport is causing some low fly-overs:

A low-flying plane that dozens of concerned residents have inquired about is assisting the runway relocation project at Olympia Regional Airport.

Technicians were aboard the plane, which belongs to the Federal Aviation Administration, and working with a ground crew to calibrate the airport's instrument landing system to correspond to the runway's new location.

The work requires the plane to fly repetitive patterns at low altitudes, explained Rudy Rudolph, airport manager for the Port of Olympia.

The flights started Thursday and will continue today, he said.


This time, it's not Ft. Lewis/McChord.

Thank you for posting this, I hadn't caught it in the Olympian, and had wondered about those plane flights.
