I believe there are plans to get it indoors at the museum, but it is kept indoors in the meantime. It was just outside for a bit for a celebration this summer.

We sure were! We did more at the MOF, then dinner at Randy's an airport diner, then a hobby shop, more plane spotting, then some night life with Al.

The whole time at MOF we saw Dreamliners and 747's on test flights

More Seattle/Everett pics! I've seen some but not all of 'em yet.

Also, I love the Blackbird shot. I was apparently quite bored with you at the moment. :lol:

That afternoon Al took us to Ivan's and Zack learned the lesson between regular fish and English style pub fish. We called it the lesson of the cod. That night we drove to Oregon, and prepared to do both Tillamook and Evergreen in one day along with another P-47 interview.

It was awesome. I want to thank all of the great people that we hung out with at FHC, they were a blast. Also thanks to my good buddy Al for showing us a great time, and evening opening his home up to us. The people are what makes this fun. More pics to come.

And that's an order.

Seriously, this thread is the most fun I've had in WIX in a long while! I'm loving the 'vacation slides'!

Great pictures!

My Warbird Digest subscription ran out in the spring and I haven't renewed it yet. Which issue was the Grissom C-47 story in?

Thanks!
