Here are some pics from Liberty Belle's visit this past week. They got rained on a bit Saturday but Sunday was pretty nice for them. I thought I overheard they did 14 rides on Saturday and they may have done 15 Sunday. Not bad! Thanks to the Liberty Foundation folks for bringing her out here. She's the 1st of 4 B-17's coming to the NW this year.

Al, are you going to be at Paine on the 16th? Rumor has it that there'll be a 3, possibly 4, Mustang flight. :)

I'm gonna put in as much time there as I can. My mom and sis will be visiting then. My mom digs the warbirds but sis doesn't get it so I think she'll probably go shopping downtown while I show mom the good stuff going on up at Paine.
