The Cascade Warbirds group usually meets at the Museum Of Flight but this month we were invited to John Sessions Historic Flight Foundation where he had Grumpy open for us to climb around in as well as talking about the big flight over. I didn't take a ton of pics but here are a few I liked along with some so-so interior shots.

Al, as always thanks for the pics.
Looks a little different than this Gumpy operated by the Canadian Warplane Heritage.
Gonna have to change one to "The Movie Grumpy" so nobody gets confused? 8)
