Arlington Flight Services is the Puget Sound’s leading Full-Service Flight Center and FBO, conveniently
located at Arlington’s Municipal Airport. Our newly installed self-serve fuel system and freshly paved
ramp complement our renovated hangar and offices.
From Arlington it is just a short flight to many popular locations such as the San Juan Islands,
Vancouver/ Victoria BC, Port Townsend, Seattle and Bellingham.
We currently operate a fleet of Piper Cherokee Warrior IIs and a Sting S-3 LSA.

They were busy but they did squeeze me in for a flight review. Seattle area is a beautiful place to fly when the weather is clear, however the Arlington Airport is pretty busy for a non-towered facility.
