THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
B-17 overhead, head Northwest toward Everett, presumably.





It never gets old to see those birds,


And no, I did not confuse this with a 787 this time,

And another B-24 following shortly afterward straight overhead.


It is kinda ominous coming in straight over head, and it was pretty low too,

They might be heading to the air show at Olympia airport. Last year they had a B-25 and a B-24. They also have a bunch of WW2 fighters, choppers and stunt air craft.

B-17 was cancelled for the Olympic Air Show.

Love that sound! I have been inside the Sentimental Journey when I was a kid. I think it would be fun to volunteer on maintaining an aircraft like that. Mayben when I retire I will!

These folks fly a lot. I work just across the speedway, and they shake us up often. Pretty cool when they do.

I saw it too. Beautiful plane.

I was at the Flying Heritage Collection fly day on Saturday. P 47, P51, and FW 190 were flying. They are astonishing to see in flight.

Also saw a B-25 take off and the B-24 fly in.
