My adventure to the Heritage Flight Museum open house

[spookythecat]

My friend Robert "Chipmunk Bob" Hill invited me to tag along in his Chipmunk for a trip to the Heritage Flight Museum's open house in Bellingham. How could I say no? Here are some pics from today. Enjoy!


My view from the backseat


Leaving Paine Field


Me and my rather out of control beard in the backseat


A rather crooked shot of Bellingham airport. You can see the Museum with the P-51 and Texans outside


Just about there

I've always wanted to get a shot like this.

The L-13 was pretty cool


"He11-er Bust" getting some maintainance

Some nice scenery on the way home


We did a touch-n-go at Arlington on the way back and came across these guys


And back in Everett


A big thanks to Bob!

It was nice to see Hal again as well.

Thanks for the coverage Al, glad you finally made it up our way.

You bet!

I'll make my way up again someday for sure.

Geez Al, with a beard like that, you could probably get a guest spot on Joaquin Phoenix's new rap album. You're probably just as good as him too!

Mine was nearly as long and everyone was calling me a U-Boat captain at work. Had to shave it for an upcoming conference. Ah well...
As always, nice pics!
