Next Sunday at the Panida Little Theater in Sandpoint, there will be two screenings of a documentary on Pappy Boyington, the namesake of Coeur d’Alene’s Pappy Boyington Field.

The film has already garnered several accolades at various festivals. More information is available at the official website.

So come on out to the Little Panida Theater on First Ave in Sandpoint next Sunday at 1:00pm or 3:30pm and check out a great film about a Marine legend.

As the weather continues to cool, it seems worth noting that we will be continuing our last-Friday-of-the-month barbecue tradition throughout the winter.  I know what you’re thinking, “There’s no way they’re gonna be barbecuing when it’s snowy and cold.  The potato salad will freeze.”  Well, we have formulated a plan that involves a complex but effective system of ducting, fans, lincoln logs and Gorilla glue to ensure that neither the potato salad nor the soft drinks will fall below the optimal temperature.

In summation, please join us on Friday for October’s barbecue.  If you’d like to come in costume, feel free.  Jason and I will both be dressed as line-service personnel.  As always, bring something to throw on the barbecue and we’ll all have a good time.

We’ve recently made some arrangements with a few of the top local hotels and lodges, to offer our clients discounted rates. As I called around to discuss these arrangements, I was met with great attitudes and excellent service – a good sign that Sandpoint is stepping up to offer premier service to resort clientele.

Details are still being discussed, but more information will be forthcoming.

For a town with a population of 8100, according to the Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce, Sandpoint has a lot of great businesses.  One of these is Quest Aircraft.  Quest is our neighbor to the north, across the runway.  They are one of several companies, including Thorne Research, Coldwater Creek and Litehouse Foods to name a few, that depend on having a local airport that is safe, dependable and professional.  Our goal here at SilverWing, is to ensure that we offer the best possible service under any circumstances, and that pilots come to expect that they can get what they need at KSZT.  As we continue to build the reputation of Sandpoint’s airport, local businesses who rely on the airport will be able to grow to their full potential.
