Van Sant Airport Access

[Mac Kirkpatrick]

I've been to Van Sant Airport numerous times on Sundays for years and have
never experienced access issues.

Access has been always very easy and is as follows:
Pull into the short access road/driveway for the airport, go maybe 50
yards, park on the left side of the road, you might have to pick out a spot
amongst cars and motorcycles, it's never been an issue at all for myself
and others I have been with.

Enjoy any take off or landing planes as you ride along the road :-) perhaps
you will see a biplane or a plane pulling up a glider :-) on the grass
strip. The place has an atmosphere of an old timey airport, only a few
people store their planes there.

I have not been there in a year or two, perhaps things have changed in that
time, but I doubt it. It is owed by the local county and rented to folks
who like to pursue flying.
