Paine Field, Everett, WA Vintage Aircraft Show This Weekend

Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:50 pm

Hi All,

Pretty nice list of aircraft slated to show up this weekend at Paine Field for the Vintage Aircraft Flight Fest. I noticed a Grumman Wildcat is listed...anyone have any idea who's Wildcat will be showing up?

How about the A-26 Invader? Sweet Sue perhaps?

I've heard rumors of possibly 2 A-26's. "Sexy Sue" and one from Oregon.

I believe the Wildcat is just the one from the Museum of Flight Restoration Center.

Very cool, Al. 2 A-26's! Gotta love that.

Have they painted that FM-2 at the MOF restoration center?

And John has had a little chat with the tower chief so we don't have a repeat of the last Flying Day traffic screwups. 2 A-26's, the Boeing 40C should fly, along with a bunch of other stuff. The FM-2 from the MoF restoration center is essentially finished after years and years of painstaking work to turn it from a nasty old playground 'jungle gym,' ( that your's truly played on as a kid) into a beautiful example.

Swing by the Pilots Check in Tent and introduce yourself from Noon to 5 P.M.
