A Fine Day at BFI

[Bob (not my real pseudonym)]

The Liberty Foundation brought their B-17 and P-40 up a couple weeks
back, and Seattle managed to pull off a decent sunny day for a change.
This has been one of the coldest, grayest, soggiest springs in memory.

A few shots of the guests and locals - Day 1 of 2.

Nice stuff, Bob. I like the 787 pics. Must be B-17 season. There have
been two down here in the last month. I'll post pics of the second soon,
along with the B-24 & P51.

PS Considering retiring to Sequim next year. What do you know about it?

I welcome change. But I prefer bills.

The Collings Foundation birds are scheduled up here the end of this
month. Wish they would send their jets this far west someday...

1. it's pronounced "Skwim". If you say "Seekwim", the locals will
point and laugh.

2. Their airport is ~slightly~ smaller than LAX. Very few A380s...

Located on the northeast side of the Olympic mountains, they have the
driest climate in Western Washington because the mountains block the
predominant southwest rain-producing winds. For the same reason, they
occasionally get a little extra snow in the winter when we get
northeasterly cold outflow from British Columbia - but seldom more
than once per winter.

Close to the Olympic National Park, there is lots to go ogle at and/or
steal the souls of. Bring a raincoat or two.

Alas, it's been years since I even passed through Sequim. =(

Thanks Chief! Only the second time I've managed to get down there
this year, between the crappy weather aand crappy health. Hoping to
get out to Paine Field this Saturday for the General Aviation Day.
