“It is an absolute pleasure to welcome our Bremerton/Port Orchard/Kitsap County neighbors to Bremerton National Airport,” Warren Hendrickson, Bremerton National Airport’s manager, said.
“Look, play, learn, fly, eat — come and see all of the components that make this airport such a great community asset.”
