Fly To The Skagit Tulip Festival | Mount Vernon, WA | 1st Day - The Flowers Are Beginning To Bloom!!

Thanks for letting us know the Skagit Flowers procedure. I will be using it this year!

You’re most welcome! Most pilots know the drill but occasionally there are the clockwise types and those that blow right through, best to keep your eyes open for conflicts. Also watch out for left downwind traffic for rnwy 29 at BVS, wide patterns (twins and Cirrus owners) definitely conflict with the tulip flyers. Good luck!!! 🌷

"Skagit Flowers" is that a locally designated traffic pattern, or a published pattern and call-out? Some purty flowers up your way. I don't get out anymore so I have no clue when we have our Tulip or Iris Festivals down here. Still lovin' your videos, they put me into a good place.

*_They Dream by Day_* That drilled a hole into my head and pour warm honey in. Perfect choice of music.

The “traffic pattern” is the locally accepted method of maintaining separation over the fields, no official NOTAM. Counterclockwise flow, announce the corners and direction of flight. It works pretty well. 👍
