Good ain't the word my friend, Fantastic Jeremy !!!

[cowens727]

Holy amazing shots! Thanks for sharing 'em with us! Would you happen to know the story behind the MiG-29?

[CX777]

OK, thats it :mad: I am moving from very exciting Pleasant Valley, CT to the ultra boring KPAE/KBFI. What an awesome set Jeremy. Thanks for the post.

Great shots Jeremy!!

Would you happen to know the story behind the MiG-29?
Yup.
The short version is John Sessions at the Historic Flight Foundation picked it up several years ago. He and Tim Morgan restored it completely and are test flying it 5 hours to complete the FAA certification. The airplane has been sold and after certification will be going to the new owner.

Damn, now I'm really crossing my fingers for orders to Bremerton. Great stuff, man.

Same here...Queens just ain't cutting it anymore! I was out in Seattle for a week a few years back, did nothing but spot, and still came home with a desire for much, much more!

And by the way, that is one lucky "new owner". Thanks for the background info!
