Saturday August 16th at Paine Field in Everett, Washington
11am to 1pm
Flying Heritage Collection's Summer Saturday Fly Days for 2014 continues Saturday August 16th with
"Luftwaffe Day" featuring the collections Bf 109, FW 190, and Storch in an areial display around noon. A panel discussion will take place after before the air show at 11am Dan Hagedorn, from Museum of Flight, will discuss the North American AT-6 Texan! These maintenance flights are planned activities, but somewhat tentative, based on weather conditions, pilot availability and the mechanical condition of the aircraft. Decisions to cancel Fly Day may not be made until shortly before the flight, so if you have a concern please call FHC prior to your visit.
As of today the long term forecast in the Seattle area is for afternoon showers through Friday afternoon, but should be clear and dry for the weekend.

Saturday Highlights.
The sun came out Saturday for the 16th Annual Olympic Air Show and a variety of aircraft from R/C Planes, Helicopters, and Warbirds filled the skies above Olympic Flight Museum with low high speed passes and aerobatic maneuvers. A TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) over Olympia Airport means only Air Boss approved aircraft can enter the show box over Olympia Airport. This safety measure allows stunt pilots and aircraft to perform more aerial maneuvers such as loops, inverted and low passes that you won't see at other air shows. Day 2 is Sunday June 15th Gates open at 9am. Here are some Highlights of Saturdays Performers

April 19, 2014
Saturday morning started off promising with a few sunbreaks around Snohomish County. But by 11am overcast clouds started rolling in from the south east and a light drizzle soon followed. Owner and pilot John Sessions begun his B-25D Mitchell pre-flight just after 11am but moved the pre-flight discussion out of the rain and inside the hangar.
A few of the volunteers and myself took shelter from the rain under the wings of the B-25 and waited for the V-22s and Vh-3s to startup and take off on their Presidential Transportation exercise over Snohomish County and Arlington Airport.
Although the rain made the afternoon a little uncomfortable there was still plenty of activity on the airport including an American Bald Eagle soaring overhead, take off of V22s, VH-3s, a Dreamifter, Boeing 737s and 777s.
Here is a recap in video and images.
After calling Bellingham International Airport its main base for 13 years Heritage Flight Museum, founded in 1996 by NASA Apollo 8 Astronaut Major General William Anders, is moving south to
Skagit Regional Airport (KBVS).
The new hangar location adjacent to Runway 4/22 allows Heritage Flight to bring its collection and maintenance department all under roof. In 2014 HFM will add a gift shop and event space for private and corporate events.
Heritage Flight collection : P-51 Mustang, A-1 Skyraider, PT-19, PT-13, SNJ-4, T6 Texans, 0-1 Birdog, 0-2 Skymaster, L-13 Grass Hopper, H-13 Sioux, F-89 Scorpion
A bright blue sky and warm temperatures accompanied today's Fly Day at Paine Field. Its hard to want to stay indoors with such a good weather briefing. And pilots and aircraft a like felt the same way. It was a busy day at KPAE. Current construction on Runway 34R/16L means that the western Runway 34L/16R is the only active runway for General Aviation, Flight Schools, Boeing Test Flights, NAS Whidbey F-18 Hornets and the Vintage aircraft housed at Paine Field. Amongst the GA traffic a few Boeing 787s, 777, 747s also returned from the wild blue yonder .
The Collings Foundation is in town over Father's Day Weekend which added to the resident aircraft buzzing the shoreline of Mukilteo which included B-17, B-25, B-25, P-51, P-51, P-47 and a Mig-29. The next Fly Day will be on June 29th at 12pm featuring Hellcat and Zero for "Pacific Legends Day"
Father & Son Flight Demonstration Pilots Bud and Ross Granley took to the sky in the P-51D Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt and put on a very tight formation flight for 30 minutes.
