I'm a huge aviation fan and have been ever since I was little. My family are a bunch of aviation fans also, my father and I fly model airplanes, sister was a flight attendant. But ever since I was a boy, I've attended airshows pretty frequently. On June 17-18, the Olympic Flight Museum is hosting their annual airshow. I've had an absolutely wonderful time in the past and took my twin boys last year. The week prior to the event is fun as I get to sit in my back yard and listen to those huge radial engines roar over my house (I'm in the KOLM flight path) while I drink beer. To me, there is no better sound than Pratt and Whitney's and a Rolls Royce Merlin doing a low flight by; music to my ears. You can check out more information at their website: www.olympicflightmuseum.com Last year was pretty busy and lots of folks showed up making for a long walk from the parking lot. Here's a couple pictures of a Grumman FM-2 Wildcat and North American P-51D I took last year.
