Pilots, check your bearings: Boeing Field catches up with Earth’s magnetic field
Because the Earth’s magnetic field has shifted over the decades, the runway numbers at Boeing Field have just been changed, requiring pilots to pay attention and change their charts. (www.seattletimes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
KPAE runway headings didn't change. It was KBFI.
Good catch. I confused the airports. Thanks.
One is well north of Seattle (approx.. 30 miles), near Everett while the other is south of the city........
Yup, 2 days ago but only the two east-west runways, not the north-south.
How long ago did DCA change from 36/18 to 1/19?
Ahh, Wikipedia says 1999.

McCarran Int'l at Las Vegas also had changes made. 25L/7R and 25R/7L were just changed to 26L/8R and 26R/8L.
Also with this, all SIDs and STARs to the airports affected were updated.
