About 20 miles north of Portland is a small state airport adjacent to Woodland, WA (W27). The airport sits next to Interstate 5 so is easy to find. The winds here can be challenging and today was no exception (see the windsock in the below photo). There are also large trees on the south end so the best way to approach from the south is to turn a modified left base turn into a dogleg and fly a curved final to runway 32. The reason for flying here was to check out Daddy D's BBQ and to add another $100 hamburger to the list. If BBQ isn't for you, there is a Burgerville and a few other food options. Either way all are a 5-10 minute walk from the tie down area. In regards to Daddy D's, this BBQ is legit and even if you aren't flying in, stop here if traveling between Seattle and Portland on your next road trip.
