Last weekend was "Skyfair" 2015, an annual even put on by Paul Allen's (yes, THAT Paul Allen) Flying Heritage Collection musuem in Everett, WA. The collection started with a few WWII "artifacts" - fully restored warbirds - and has expanded to include several tanks and other WWII military vehicles, plus a growing collection of WWII aircraft, most in flying condition. Some, like their FW190-D-13, will never fly, because they're the only ones of their type in existence, but most are flown at least once or twice a year on Saturdays throughout the summer. For this event, they brought in a couple of Korean War jets, an F-86F Sabre and a MiG-15, from the Planes of Fame museum in Chino, CA. Having never seen these aircraft perform, I was eager to see them fly. Unfortunately, the weather turned out to be crap, but the mist and drizzle cleared long enough for a brief flight demo, and as luck would have it, the gray skies were actually not too bad for shooting "silver" aircraft like these two...
here are the two of them together...
