It seems as though the only cruddy weather days we've been having around here this summer have been falling on FHC Fly Days. Today was no exception but after delaying an hour we got the 1,000ft ceiling needed to see some planes in the air.

This was the public debut of "Buster" which was flown be Kevin Eldridge and David Reagan and they were joined by Carter Teeters in "Upupa Epops"

Some excellent flying all around.

As an added bonus, "Grumpy" took off for a day at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Enjoy!

Well done as always. We could use that gloomy weather down here in Texas to beat the heat. Thanks for sharing them...

Glad to see your ceiling finally went up @ KPAE, just 27 miles North in Mt. Vernon it's still below 500 and when it stops raining HARD, it slows down to a drizzle & 64f, and Lynn. We would just love to send you this weather!! They just ended ski season @ one of our local mountains on Sat, the 16th. but then again, they had 51 feet of snow last winter. :shock: :lol: :lol: (11 inches of rain = 1 inch of snow x 612 inches)

Nope. It was David Reagan.

I just love the looks of the B-25..Gracious yet sinister. Has the look of "ima commin fer ya" Written all over it. Just a beautiful to see them grace the skies!
