#Spokane International Airport

[movingtothefarm]

In 2017, Fairchild Air Force Base acknowledged its responsibility for widespread drinking water contamination in Airway Heights, to the northeast, leading the Department of Defense to designate a testing zone and to test some residents’ wells.

What is known about the scope of contamination continues to grow.

Documents obtained by a resident through a public records request this spring revealed that Spokane International Airport detected the chemicals in its groundwater, also in 2017.

But airport authorities did not report this to the state, regional health district or surrounding community.

***

This summer, after the resident shared the airport’s groundwater test results with Ecology, an attorney representing the airport in an Aug. 7 letter sought to remove “the [Spokane International Airport]-related PFAS information” from Ecology’s website that lists cleanup sites. He also asked the state to refrain from making public statements or sharing information regarding the cleanup until state and local officials met face-to-face.

Post 897

Jacob Corban Coleman, Idaho inmate 131628, born 1997, incarceration intake in 2019 at age 21; sentenced to life, available for parole consideration on 04/02/2059

Murder, Assault/Battery on Corrections Personnel

Jacob Coleman, 21, said he was denied entry to Gonzaga University and began to have homicidal thoughts. Authorities said Coleman called a cab in August 2017 and stabbed the driver to death after the driver stopped in Idaho.

He pleaded guilty to the stabbing death of a cab driver and was sentenced to life in prison.  Jacob Coleman, 21, pleaded guilty to the murder in November 2018. Prosecutors dropped their pursuit of the death penalty as part of a plea deal.

Police said Coleman called a cab in August 2017 and Gagandeep Singh of Spokane picked him up at the Spokane International Airport.

Bonner County Sheriff officials said Jacob Corban Coleman, 19 at the time, flew from Seattle to Spokane with the intention of starting a new semester at college. Coleman said he was denied entry to Gonzaga, became angry and began to have homicidal thoughts.

Authorities say Coleman bought a knife during a stop at a store.

Singh stopped in Kootenai, Idaho, when it became clear Coleman didn't have a destination. Police say Coleman then stabbed Singh, who died at the scene.

Gonzaga officials released a statement that said they had no record of an application for admission from Jacob Coleman of Puyallup, Washington.

A psychologist testified that Coleman has “pervasive maladaptive personality disorder.” He said this affects Coleman’s ability to function socially and that people with the disorder may be “emotionally aloof.”  "I'm f----- up, mentally," Coleman said as he addressed the court and the victim's family.

Coleman also said he feels he can be rehabilitated in prison.

During the court proceedings, Coleman grabbed the microphone and had somewhat of an outburst. Bailiffs had to restrain and handcuff him.

Got to check off a box on my avgeek card on this current work trip by finally getting to ride one of the rarest Boeing 737 variants currently in US commercial service, the 737-900. It was on Seattle-Spokane run. ⁣ ⁣ The Boeing 737-900 should not be confused with the more common (and better performing) 737-900ER. Only 52 737-900s were built, less than the 737-600 (of which 69 were built). Alaska launched the 737-900 program in 1997 with orders for 10 aircraft with a first flight on 3 August 2000 and first delivery to Alaska Airlines 15 May 2001. ⁣ ⁣ Compared to the 737-800, the -900 has a 5 ft 2 in/1.57m fuselage plug ahead of the wing and a 3 foot 6 in/1.07m plug aft of the wing. Though stretched, the -900 has the same exit configuration as the 737-800 and is thus limited to the same number of maximum passengers as the -800, 189. ⁣ ⁣ Why was this? ⁣ ⁣ The original idea was to get the same number of passengers as the 737-800 but with more legroom as a minimal change derivative, but changes in the airline marketplace have meant that capacity was more important than comfort. Alaska’s -900s can only do ¾ of the way transcon and can’t do West Coast-Hawaii. They are now used primarily for trunk routes that don’t require range, like SEA-GEG, I was on a near-full flight. The European inclusive tour operators drove the design of the -900ER as they wanted better performance and more capacity. Alaska has 12 737-900s, I was on N303AS. ⁣ ⁣ By comparison (as of 2Q2022), Alaska has 77 -900ERs, 57 -800s, 23 MAX9s, and 14 -700s. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #airlines #aircraft #planeporn #SEA #Seattle #GEG #Spokane #SeaTac #Washington #airport #planespotting #instaplane ⁣ ⁣ #Boeing #737 #Alaska #AlaskaAirlines #N303AS⁣ #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2ackMLYlS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Circling Raven Garners No. 1 Public Course Distinction in Idaho

Golfweek Magazine ‘Best-Of’ Panelists Rate Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Amenity Tops in State

Best-in-kind course raters have ranked Circling Raven as Idaho’s No. 1 public course in the just-published Golfweek’s Best 2022 – a compendium of best-of lists that the national media outlet generates annually.

Designed by Gene Bates, this marks the 11th time that Circling Raven has been voted the state’s best public golf course by Golfweek raters. To derive “Golfweek’s Best,” hundreds of Golfweek course raters evaluate courses nationwide annually and score them based on 10 criteria.

Owned by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and an amenity of its award-winning casino resort in the scenic Idaho panhandle, Circling Raven’s 18 holes are astoundingly routed across 620 stunning acres of Palouse Region terrain. The course unfurls amid woodlands, wetlands, and wildlife, including eagles and moose.

“Circling Raven is named for one of our tribe’s most important chiefs who guided us through our most difficult times,” said Laura Penney, CEO, Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel. “Our homelands mean everything to the tribe, so Circling Raven’s award is testament that we’re nurturing it respectfully and our honoring our ancestors as well.”

In addition to being rated No. 1 in Idaho, the course is ranked among the country’s best in the Resort Course, Casino Course and Pro Shop categories, twice being named Merchandiser of the Year in the Resort Category by the PGA of America.

Further, the course is home to the Circling Raven Championship presented by KXLY News 4 Now, an Epson “#Road2LPGA” Tour event. This summer more than 100 top women professionals will vie for their share of the $200,000 prize purse, August 22-28.

Located approximately 50 minutes from Spokane International Airport (GEG), Circling Raven measures 7,189 yards from the rear tees. The golf club is one of several amenities that make the casino resort one of the most popular in the Western U.S. It boasts a full-service spa, recently renovated gaming floor, two hotel wings, multiple restaurants, and live entertainment shows and events.

With no surrounding development and a plethora of pristine flora and fauna gracing the landscape, Circling Raven is an inspirational oasis. As the Creator intended.

Its golf shop has won national and regional awards for its excellence and its variety of products, displays, and performance.

"LWS"

...is the IATA code for Lewiston Nez Perce County Airport in Idaho. Here, at Alphabetsoup, we've had a request to post this airport in our long-running "random locode" subsegment.

Lewiston was the site of a tragic plane crash in July 2021 when Dale "Snort" Snodgrass, a former Tomcat (F-14) pilot and Top Gun instructor, crashed a small SIAI-Marchetti SM.1019 near the taxiway and died as a result.

Top destinations from this commercial airport include Denver and Salt Lake City.

And, while we're here, virtually speaking, I would like to mention three other proximate codes just over the border in Washington:

GEG, which is the locode for Spokane and the IATA code for Spokane International Airport

SFF, the IATA code for Spokane Felts Field

and

PUW for Pullman Moscow Regional Airport.

BOLO: C.S. Lewis, Lewis Hamilton (Hal in Lewis, tom), Egg, FFS; and Pull Wagon. 📕🏎🍳🖕🛒🇺🇸👀

Circling Raven Earns ‘Best Casino Course’ Distinction from Golfweek

Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel Amenity Ranks in Top 20 Nationally
