A shot of my favorite P-51 Mustang, "American Beauty" of the Olympic Flight Museum. The only thing cooler than seeing this bird in flight would be seeing it fly on a clear day!

The Olympic Flight Museum's HH-1K just after lift-off in preperation for a flight demo. Nothing like hearing the distictive "whop-whop" of a twin-bladed Huey! Makes you think about how many soldiers' hopes were brightened by that same sound in Vietnam.

Impatient Virgin taxis in after putting on a flying demo for the NAS Whidbey Island CONA event. Unfortunately, you could not see most of the demo due to a low cloud deck, but you could certainly hear that Allison engine over-head!

Grumpy sits on the tarmac at NAS Whidbey Island just before taking to the air for her (his?) demo. It was great to see this historic aircraft fly. If you are ever in Everett, Washington, the Historic Flight Foundation is a great place to check out.

Unusually cloudy for a late-June day in Central Washington, but it makes for a good background for this C-17 coming in on final. It is easy to see why the US Military paints the majority of the aircraft gray.
