Certainly did mate, as well as the new 11sqdn 100 year special. Another new one expected Wednesday as well for the Synchro 75 display You need the 24th off for PDA day, expecting 2 hours worth of display flights.

Looking into it lad!

With the summer display season fast approaching the RAF display teams are working hard to polish their routines.

You really can't beat the sight and sound of a Spitfire in the early morning light. MKXVI Spit of the BBMF gets in an early morning practice flight.

checked price online, not at my present pay scale. paine field @ everett, wa has 3 places to visit for aircraft.
boeing, which i will not do since you cannot take a camera into the plant. historical flight and paul allen's warbirds, these i will visit
when i am in the area and have time (day).

@nikonpup Where does Paul Allen have his warbirds.
Would like to see along with historical flight. If they allow
tractor-trailer parking. If I get back in that area.

check google maps - both are on paine field. at the future of flight aviation center & boeing tour you should be able to park, lots of tour buses load and unload there. the historic flight foundation might be ok they have a parking lot. on the map it looks like a lot of parking around the flying heritage collection, it might be parking for employees only.

@nikonpup Thanks
Don't know why I didn't think of google earth or maps.
Guess these senior moments are getting the better of me.
