A few years back, I'd go to the North Cascades Museum website...IIRC, there was a member associated with it on a forum I used to spend a lot of time on.

Great place, I do wish I was closer, I'd join and help out. As much as I like warbird, I have a soft spot for GA types...after all there are plenty of P-51 fans...and of course the GA types are many re accessible...financially, technology, and piloting-wise.

BTW: Callair in the photo is the very one that was flying over Mt. Ranier when it's pilot reported UFOs...and starting the entire UFO craze/nuttiness (and the beginning of the conspiracy theory nonsense).

The red biplane is a 1930 Waco INF NC619Y. Powered with a 125hp Kinner. The Callair A-2 is interesting to me as I owned one and in fact, received my PPL in it 28 years ago....NC2915V

The M.o.F. is looking good. Glad to see now they have a place undercover to display these aircraft. Maybe one day they can enclose the sides. Its a great start.

Yep, here are some shots I got of the enclosure soon after it opened:
