Pearson
 

An airport with a neat museum and a lot of history. Visited here for the West Coast Cherokee Pilot's Assoc. Fly-In. Great location, just review the chart carefully and be prepared to follow Portland's instructions, especially if not granted access to Class C airspace.

re: FAA duplicate
 

But the two records also list different owners. I suppose the only way this is going to be settled is for somebody to phone both owners.

re: FAA duplicate
 

I think that's why the FAA hasn't spotted the duplication. From the sat view, it's clear that they're the same airport, with the runway described differently -- there's not room for a second strip on the same island.

Oh, and the two records have different runways, one is 16/34 1500x75 and the other is "NW/SE" 1500x100.

re: FAA duplicate
 

Interestingly enough, they aren't *exactly* duplicates, at least not after I've done processing them into my navaid.com database. The latitude, longitudes and elevations are slightly different.

I have WA58 is 48.6525, -122.584166667, elev 5 and WA93 is 48.652606388889, -122.57461722, elev 8. I think that makes them 1.8nm apart according to http://williams.best.vwh.net/gccalc.htm

FAA duplicate
 

The FAA has a duplicate entry in their database, listing this airport as both WA58 and WA93.

Closed in 2006
 

From 1964 until it closed in 2006, this airport was home to the Northwest Antique Airplane Club and the annual Evergreen fly-in. It was sold in 2006, but as of early 2008, had not yet been redeveloped.
