Lockheed P-3C Orion, in special CoNA colors to commemorate the 'Black Bat' Squadron of the RoCAF, taxis past my position at the Museum of Flight at BFI, heading back to runway 31L for departure back to NAS Whidbey Island, Washington.

Mission Accomplished! After fighting the Taylor Bridge wildfire non-stop for a week, the National Guard crews are cleared to go home to JBLM, still sporting their "mission markings".
The King County Sherrif Dept. Huey waits further orders at Bowers Field. The helo and crew flew in to help fight a 2000+ acre wildfire raging in the North-west part of the Kittitas Valley.
The fire crews on the ground were having trouble spotting the Guard helos in the smoke and trees, so I went and got some tempura paint to "decorate" them. It worked great!
