Some great flying at Paine Field with Kevin Eldredge in the Hurricane, Carter Teeters ini FHC's Spitfire and John Sessions in his.

I swear, you can't take a picture of anything on the ground at Paine Field without a 787 creeping into the shot.

And for those who enjoy the sound of these birds I link you to another gem of a video by Jason Fortenbacher.

Great report, Al!

That RCAF 'home' upper wing roundel is certainly startling, being used to the usual dull red and blue roundel on almost all preserved fighters.

It's funny that all three aircraft are only cousins to those actually in that Battle; but all great examples and schemes nonetheless.

The had a great weather day in the mid-ish 70's and Chamber of Commerce skies, the 109 was apparently under the weather.
Personally I'd rather see 787's @ KPAE than bulldozers and truckloads of lumber- :wink:
