EAA Fly-In Arlington July 2010

Bet this one ticks off the left side of the crowd a tad...

Glad to see the Sea Heron flying again; it shot up the field a bit at
the Paine Field General Aviation Day in May. Kinda wish the owner
would restore the markings to the original Royal Navy scheme it
carried, but they get to choose their own bumper stickers.

That was originally a beautiful colour scheme. Never got to see it
myself, though. IMO the current additions are akin to graffiti,
especially as he can't spell. But as you say, the owner gets to choose.

Here she was a few years back when I first saw her at Paine Field. No
roundels, but otherwise the scheme was still mostly intact.

I do remember her as the "Green Parrot" or "Admirals Barge" around the
FAA Naval Air Stations in the 60's and 70's.
Great pictures.
