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
Image

Just about there
Image

The museums BirdDog

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

PT-17
Image

The L-13 was pretty cool
Image

"He11-er Bust" getting some maintainance

Greg Anders (closest) during his Air Force retirement ceremony. Thanks Greg!

the museums O-2

Waiting to leave Bellingham

Some nice scenery on the way home

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

And back in Everett

A big thanks to Bob!

It was nice to see Hal again as well.

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!

Zack

The Skyraider wasn't there this weekend. It's still with the museum though.
