This was a great little show at Paine Field in Everett, WA. They had a really nice mix of warbirds and well...vintage aircraft! An airworthy DC-2, an airworthy Boeing Model 247, an airworthy Boeing Model 40, incredible Wacos and an equally amazing Staggerwing, Stinsons, Stearmans, etc. But seeing as this is a WW2 aircraft site, here you go...
WOW!!!!! Superb shots Violator!!!!! Thank you for sharing!! Oh, and post more if you have them, we don't care if they aren't WWII craft. I post all sorts and so do some of the other guys.
Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out and broken, shouting "Holy cr*p, WHAT A RIDE !!"
Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! Here are a few more pics.
Mike — The Me 262 is indeed a flying replica (I believe it made its first flight in July). Unfortunately it didn't fly at the show. It's stored in a hangar on the other side of the runway, so I'm sure they just towed it across.
Crimea — No Fw 190 at this show. However, she lives just on the other side of the runway, so she was lurking nearby!
George — There are couple flying days coming up at Paine Field. Next Saturday the FHC is going to fly their Po-2 and I-16 Rata. Their MiG-29 will also be there, but much to my chagrin it will only be on static display. On September 24 there will be two B-25s flying together, FHC's J (just arrived this summer following a mind-blowing restoration) and HFF's D "Grumpy."
