Review:
The Will Rogers - Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base is a seaplane base on Lake Washington. It is located inside the perimeter fence of the Renton Municipal Airport in Renton, Washington. The memorial base was named for the tragic crash in Alaska in August 1935 in which Will Rogers and Wiley Post, two famous personalities, lost their lives after departed from this base. Wiley Post was considered the second greatest American flyer next to Charles A. Lindbergh. Will Rogers was the great movie star of his time, with more than 70 movies in which he starred. They were on the way for a leisurely sightseeing tour across the Pacific and through Asia in Post’s beautiful red Lockheed when their plane crashed in Alaska.
