Snohomish Flying Service is a full
service FBO situated on Harvey Field, in Snohomish,
WA. Within view, when in flight, are scenic mountain
ranges, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker and Mt. St. Helens,
forests, rivers, lakes and streams, the colorful tulip
fields and the beautiful San Juan Islands littered
with ferry docks, marinas, delightful shopping areas
and restaurants. SF offers flight training, charter,
scenic and photo flights on a daily basis both in
Helicopters and Airplanes in one of the most beautiful
regions of the world.
Harvey Field is rich with tradition, still in private
ownership by the founding family and situated on the
original 160-acre homestead of John and Christina
Harvey. Since 1859 the homestead has passed from one
generation to the next and the airport and airport
operations today remain actively owned and managed
by the Harvey Family. Harvey Field was established
in 1944 as a public use privately owned airport and
in the late 1970's was designated by the Federal Aviation
Administration as an FAA Reliever Airport for SeaTac
International.
The Airport is well known for its colorful aviation
atmosphere and entertaining array of activities such
as scenic helicopter & airplane flights, hot air
ballooning and skydiving. Harvey Field is the stomping
ground for the oldest parachute club in the United
States, the Seattle Skydivers. The group's membership
maintains clubhouse operations at the Skydive Snohomish
Parachute Center. Harvey Field is home to over 329
based aircraft and conducts over 140,000 operations
(take-off's and landings) annually. The first flight
took place off "Harvey Ball Park" on the
homestead land in May of 1911 and the First Hot Air
Balloon took flight from the same location in the
early 1900's. Harvey Field boasts a rich, colorful,
deeply rooted and traditional aviation history. The
airport is served by two runways. The asphalt runway
(RWY 32R/14L) is 2750 in length and the parallel grass
runway (RWY 32L/14R is 2650 in length. All primary
and secondary taxiways are paved with reflector illumination.
The lights on RWY 32R/14L are illuminated from dusk
to dawn. The Harvey Unicom advisory is attended from
7:30AM until dusk, 7 days a week. The airport is within
walking distance of downtown Snohomish, a city with
historic character and many antique and specialty
shops, great Seafood and Mexican restaurants, several
Art Galleries and a river walk trail through the historic
downtown district.
"Before using Flight Schedule Pro, we were using
paper scheduling. It was a nightmare! It was extremely
time-consuming for the Front Desk Staff, many errors
were encountered and students and renters were dependant
on the front desk staff for scheduling. Scheduling
couldn't even be done in-house on computers. With
Flight Schedule Pro students and renters can plan
their flight training and rental schedules from the
convenience of their homes or offices and make changes
or additions via the internet at any time. In many
ways, Flight Schedule Pro has freed up Staff to assist
customers.”

Snohomish Flying has been training professional and
recreational pilots for more than 61 years. The SF
flight academy truly is an aviation leader backed
by years of successful experience. SF offers FAA approved
pilot training courses in both Helicopters and Airplanes
and you will find our staff friendly, experienced
and eager to teach. SF is approved for Veteran's training
and is authorized to issue M-1 Visas for alien students
wishing to enter the United States for the purpose
of pursuing a Professional Pilot Training career.
Dormitory units for students enrolled in full time
flight training courses are located just 50 yards
from the flight school and adjacent to a full service
restaurant. You will find the school's facilities
well maintained, technologically advanced, modern
and professionally staffed.
"Flight Schedule Pro has added value to our
company in many areas: Our Flight Instructors have
computers in their offices, our Students have computers
in their Study Rooms, reservations may even be made
from home. Our Students and Customers have control
of their own schedules. They can make reservations
to fit in with school and work schedules. The convenience
of using Flight Schedule Pro has increased our aircraft
utilization because it's so easy to reserve aircraft.
We tried a couple of other scheduling services, but
found Flight Schedule Pro to offer the most comprehensive
services."
