Copalis Beach, Washington State US. May through September.

I heard of this airport before. Interesting is the interview with the airport manager/controller. I believe the air port is closed high tide or high cross wind...of course. That is one nice aircraft that I have not flow in yet...twin otter. That thing has some real thrust and lift to get that kind of STOL performance on wet sand. Aircraft tires are high pressure that makes them want to sink in. Another small STOL that could use this runway and regularly uses grass ( search for missionary bush pilot new guinea) is the Kodiak. Either is real hands on flying, the Kodiak often alone.

An intresting runway...🙂
