    Paine Field Aviation Day 2013

    Had a great weekend photographing for Historic Flight Foundation at Paine Field's annual Aviation Day. While I've been extremely blessed/lucky to receive a lot of unreal opportunities from them over the years I got an especially sweet treat: a go at their Spitfire for a little air to air. It was a last minute substitution that I didn't even know about until I saw pulling into formation...I was thrilled:

    Fun fact about the woman in the top right photo - she was a flight attendant for Air California, Hughes Airwest, Republic, and Northwest. She docented the museums DC3 through the day in full uniform and had all of her original flight badges to boot. It was sooo cool to chat with her.

    Very Nice
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Oh man, Air-to-Air with Warbirds, a few sacrifices. To get an airshow on the PAE grounds; Priceless! Nice going Jeremy ...
