Still sitting at Grant County International, this was the last PBY-6A to be built, and is in desperate need of restoration. Former US Navy BuNo 64107. Fires burning in British Columbia provided a very smokey, gray background.
A McChord-based Globemaster executes a clearing turn after taking off to the South from Grant County International. On most days, you can find one or two of them working the pattern...Often taking turns with NAS Whidbey Island-based P-3 Orions.
One of two Washington National Guard UH-72A's touching down at Grant County for fuel and lunch during a training mission. These Lakota's are based at Fairchild AFB in Spokane.
