Enjoyed walking around opening day at the the NW Antique Flyin, Pearson Field, Vancouver, WA. Good turn out for a Friday. Maybe 50 airplanes or so. Very nice 1934 Waco YMF and two nice Fleets. I wont be able to post pics until I get home. Hope to post highlights tomorrow.

As a native of Washington State, thanks for coming-now keep it A SECRET!!! :evil:
We've been Californicated enough and are now diverting the overflow crowds to Billings MT. Nothing says more fun than several thousands of open minded, free thinking Californians moving to a place that still thinks it's 1894 and thinks like it's 1894. :wink: :wink:
Come up to Everett in Sept for the WARBIRD WEEKEND

The Fly-in was a good one. Not sure how many airplanes made it... I think well over 100. Highlights were a nice Howard, Stinson Jr. S, three Fleet biplanes, a Student Prince/ADCox Special. Will post pics when I get back home.

Sorry I missed you Dan... We were sitting one row north of my airplane with some friends (next to a dark green over silver '54 C-180 and a green over white Luscombe). Had a great time, despite the cloudy / cool weather.... Next on the list (9/11 - 9/13) is the WAaAM / Hood River, Oregon fly-in (if you're into antiques, this one is a must-see).

Bela... I kept looking for someone to be hanging around the 180. I walked by the group at the Luscombe a couple times. Wish I would have asked for you.

Had to pick which one I could make and I pick last weekend. Already back in Texas. Maybe next year for the WAAAM event.
