65-10081 started out life as a UH-1D and was later converted to a UH-1H. Upon Military retirement, it was "sold" to the USFS Department of Natural Resources. It is seen here landing to beat a summer thunder storm sweeping through the Kittitas Valley.

'Firewood 3' rises up in front of a literal wall of fog coming in off of the Straight of Jaun De Fuca before the SAR demo at the NAS Whidbey Island CONA event.
I had a great opportunity to go out on the ramp as these two Chinooks came in on a training flight from JBLM. It is amazing what 10 years of constant combat and training will do to a paint job!
The only B-17F left in flying condition in the world, now preserved at the Museum of Flight on Boeing Field in Seattle. Although not a combat vet, this B-17 was part of the movies "1,000 plane Raid", "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "Memphis Belle".
The only air-worthy Huskie left in existence today. The Olympic Flight Museum only flies it Father's Day Weekend, and they have approx. 30 hours left before they have to retire it.
