Pacific Legends Day/ Fathers Day
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Take dad to Paine Field on Father’s Day weekend to see the Flying Heritage Collection’s amazing aircraft take to the skies. Father and son teams Steve and Steven Hinton, along with Bud and Ross Granley, will demonstrate the legendary aircraft of the Pacific War—the P-51 Mustang, F6F Hellcat, P-40 Tomahawk, and the rare Mitsubishi A6M Zero.

Watching the flying demonstration is always free, but why not make the day of it? Museum admission gets you entry for special events and lectures, a free pilots’ autograph signing session, and an up-close look at some of the rarest and most valuable vintage aircraft and vehicles in the world!

Doors open at 10 am, planes fly at noon!

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.

No. 193 Plane Spotting at Paine Field 6/15/2013

During today's Fly Day at Paine Field hosted by Flying Heritage Collection there were war birds, general aviation and a few Boeing Jet arrivals into 34L. The east Runway 34R is closed for repairs and drainage upgrades so this makes the local pattern quit full on nice weekends with aircraft all over the skies. But that is not a bad thing. Mount Rainier also came out of the haze to provide a nice North West backdrop to the north flow arrivals.
