It is with a tremendously heavy heart that I write of the passing of Commissioner William S. (Steve) Hopkins. I’m sorry to do so here, but the topic is addressed in the agenda for a special meeting Monday that is being posted now and attached below.
Steve was a daily presence at the airport and served as a commissioner for over 22 years. I will miss him dearly as a friend and mentor. He was a kind and gentle soul and I am hard-pressed to think of many people as fine as he.

Below is a chart of landmarks that may be used to supplement position calls in the San Juan Islands. A regional pilot, in consultation with a CFI, has noted that using landmarks exclusively is not in compliance with established reporting procedures. If you elect to use landmarks, which are in many ways more useful, please use as a supplement to direction and distance. E.g. “Orcas Island Airport, Cherokee 679W, 5 nautical mile 45 to the right downwind to 34 —over Matia—One Thousand, One Hundred, Orcas Island Airport” or at least be prepared to follow-up with direction and distance if queried.
