OKB jump traffic & pattern
Beware of two things at OKB:
VERY noise sensitive. You are expected to fly to the I5/coast before turning crosswind when departing 25. Similarly base for 07 is way out there.
right downwind for 25 goes over the water tower, then turns in closer to a normal downwind (to avoid Pendleton airspace).
LOTS of p. jumpers. They are supposed to stay north of the runway, so the pattern actually goes around them
Jump planes make space shuttle like landings. Go search Blancolerio on YouTube for the two recent accidents.
Be sure the gust locks are in place as the jump planes have 1 throttle setting, and the marines have been known to come in with an Osprey.
I was based there for several years.
But, I agree, fuel is much cheaper the CRQ. And CRQ has its own challenges (lots of bizjets, sometimes 4-5 planes queued for departure, etc.).
