Meet the Granite Crew!
Windsock - Customer Service Representative
We are sad to report that our beloved Windsock recently crossed the rainbow bridge. We have peace knowing that she looks down on us from the heavens with her ever-present and now eternal RBF.
Born in 2006, she is old, but she is fierce! In 2008, Windsock was rescued from the Panhandle Animal Shelter and brought to the Sandpoint Airport. Generally speaking, she is a great asset to the team. She rarely barks, never works, and only occasionally sleeps on the job! Windsock likes to protect her turf from the dogs that come and visit Granite Aviation and also chase birds…. which she gets scolded for (worth it to her though!) Windsock has a love for aviation that is just as strong as the rest of us, she enjoys going into airplanes, jets and even helicopters! If you leave your doors open, do a Windsock check before departing. Her favorite people that visit her at work are the UPS delivery people (so she can have a box to play in) and her fans that come in every morning. Windsock is the Sandpoint Airport’s celebrity; people want pictures with her and she is posted on all of their social media, she has quite the following. She loves visits, so come on in! Check out her instagram page @therealwindsockcat!
