KPAE - 5/17/11

[Nathan McGrew]

Had a few hours after work and errands to kill...so I enjoyed a rare sunny evening and light breeze at the Windsock at Paine Field. Glad I went. List of attendees include the Dreamlifter, Airpac Piper Seneca II, a naked RV-10, Cessna 210, Cessna 172S, Piper Turbo Saratoga SP, another Cessna 210 (surprise, right?), oh and a helicopter. No big deal. It was just a UH-60 Blackhawk and the pictures are awesome in the late evening light!

BTW, I have to go to bed. No pictures until tomorrow!

Sleep well.

Hi Nate. I see your PAE set and raise you a BFI set :-)

Very nice...but I didn't have to wade through Seattle traffic to get my shots! Here's a teaser. Think I finally settled on the watermark and the wide format.

Now I must go to bed...wife is yelling at me.

Here's the uncompressed shot:

nice blade blur - hard to get well. the traffic hasn't been pleasant, especially with 99 down to 2 lanes on the viaduct. it was biz jet city today - if you're free they should all leave on Thursday late morning early afternoon.

Here we go, round one. Blackhawk and Dreamlifter.

Pictures do not do this justice.

Round Two (think these were from 5/18)

This series illustrates why we in the Northwest willingly stay here to be rained on 8 months out of the year. Springtime!

Round Three (back to 5/17)

This gentleman was out testing his RV-10. I contacted him after looking up his N number and finding his blog. I am supplying him with the following images with hopes of getting a ride or two out of it.
