The 2008 Roost will go down adjacent to one of the truly great and renowned port entrances in the world, renowned as potentially very hazardous, the Columbia River Bar.
Coast Guard Air Station and Group Commander Captain Peter Troedsson, USCG, Aviator 2551, his roost coordinator LT Rob Potter, USCG, Aviator 3602, and their active duty and retired planners have been hard at it to come up with quarters for all and a venue including the traditional and some new and different.
With the planned dates of the roost in the log, the next waypoint for Ptero travel planning centers on quarters (room) location, availability, costs and contact data. This time more than one ‘tent’ will be required to accommodate the phlock so it will be especially important to READ AND HEED all information provided in these pages.
Headquarters for roost registration, hospitality and tour takeoffs will be at the Astoria Holiday Inn Express. Some rooms are available there and more are available at other sites as listed on the hotel information page.
