Okay, This is simply unbelievable. My wife skyped me from Seattle last night and tells me “We’re going to a vintage airshow tomorrow. And I so wish you were here.” She wasn’t really sure what exactly it was all about just that my stepson in law wanted to go. I told her that was awesome. to enjoy herself and take lots of pictures for me. Well, she skypes me today to tell me that she felt really really bad that I was not there as they went to the Flying Heritage Museum in Everett, Wash. to see Luftwaffe Day. Yup, she got to see a Storch, Me 109 E-3, and this,
the only flying FW 190 A-5 in the world. Each of them doing a flight demonstration. I was dumb founded. She said that she now has a much better appreciation for my passion for aircraft and modeling. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. Not to mention she said" Wow, they’re louder than a NASCAR race". That’s my gal. If you are not familiar with this museum check out their website. They also have the only FW 190 D-13 in existence. They don’t fly it due to it’s rarity. Needless to say I will be going there at X-mas.
Joe,
I feel similar to you in that I had planned to visit the Flying Heritage Collection one week later! I guess timing is everything after all. The place is awesome, even if nothing is flying. I made a separate post in the aircraft forum here . Here’s a preview:
Maybe next year? I’d love to see this thing fly!
Best regards,
Mike
