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.

Take your aviation photography to new heights with my Guide to Aviation Photography full of tips, camera settings and shooting techniques for war birds, jets and helicopters.

No. 281 Olympic Flight Museum Saturday Highlights

Olympic Flight Museum 
7637 Old Highway 99 Southeast
Tumwater, WA 
website: http://olympicairshow.com/

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
