Renton Planespotting Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

jtcoffee: Gosh, definitely a bunch of construction happening here. I'll go ahead and archive this since there is no knowing when this area will be open again so it won't languish, and that will open the space for someone else to place a cache here when it reopens.

Geocache Description:


Planespotting is a hobby where enthusiasts observe, track, and photograph aircraft, often at or near airports. Planespotters identify airplanes by their model, airline, registration number, and livery. Here at this little park, visitors have clear visible access to the inbound and outbound planes from the Renton Municipal Airport.

The Renton Municipal Airport shares facilities with the Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Seaplane Base. This dual-purpose setup allows both traditional and seaplanes to operate, making it a distinctive hub for water-based aviation in the Seattle area. 

Will Rogers, a beloved American humorist, actor, and social commentator, died on August 15, 1935, in a plane crash near Point Barrow, Alaska on a flight captained by Wiley Post. This expedition began at this airport.
