But what do I know, I'm just a poor cowboy with saddle sores, apparently.


Ah don't sweat it young cowboy, we're all just envious of you for being up there in the Pacifc North Duxford soaking in all that history and warbird wealth :wink:

LOL. I've learned to duck. Plus, you just compared it to Duxford again. :cry:


You apparently duck too low. My point, which you missed again, is that Paine Field is its own place, has its own position in the aviation world and is great place. Nothing else is like it and it isn't like anything else. I'm at Paine Field quite often and will be there a little more often this coming year. I haven't been to Duxford in quite a while and won't be able to go back anytime soon. They are two totally different places with the same sort of focus and neither can truly replicate the other. That's not a bad thing. I could compare it to Olympia, Addison, Breckenridge, Houston, Galveston or several other places that all have warbirds, some have collections and some are just cool airports with neat airplanes.

You really need to get over yourself.

You know what, this is BS to argue over. I'm sorry I blasted you, I shouldn't have taken this all so personally. I love this place and I should have just put the iPad down. We have many of the same friends and I've always heard good things about you and have looked forward to meeting you someday. In fact, we are even friends on FB. (Which makes it official, right? J/k). This is why I usually only lurk at WIX.

So on to a more pleasant subject, how about that awesome green on FHC's Fw-190? (Yes, attempt at humor)

I don't post as much as I used to for much the same reasons. No big deal though. As the kids say, its only the internet. Come down to Olympia with Jimmy sometime and take a look at what we have.
