Sad to hear about the Tigercat, but am glad it wasn't worse. I can't wait to see your DC-3... will be my first time seeing one in flight! What an awesome opportunity you offer.

It was their gala fundraiser featuring a beautiful B-17. The tower allowed us to do about as much as the law allows while below the approach path to SeaTac and the crowd was most appreciative. We will add you to our list for email announcements. Right now the news is that we'll be offering flying experiences throughout the 4th of July weekend. 10-6. Free BBQ with a ride. We'll fly the Electra, B-25 and Beaver. JTS We (2 Mustangs and a Mitchell) were getting organized prior to a show at Boeing Field for the Museum of Flight.

This was over Kirkland May 25. Was this you? My grandfather, Stanley J Kucinski was radio man/waist gunner 22nd bg 2nd squadron, South Pacific Theatre. He and I were so close. His was one of the only "Combat Ready" bombgroups in the country when Pearl Harbor was hit. I have spent the last three years researching his experience. He refused to speak of it and eventually died of PTSD. I was lucky to fly the B-24 with the Collings Foundation last year, but I would really like to see/fly the B-25 as it is much closer to the B-26 in which my Grandfather flew. I'd be happy to send you a photo of his crew and plane - "Sally Rand". Please let me know if you will be offering passenger flights. I am ready to go again. Crawling up to the nose while in flight on the B-24 was an experience of a lifetime, a great lesson in history, something that brought me closer to my grandfather and well worth the money.

Ludwig Thu, 20 May 2010 21:03:53 +0000 http://historicflight.org/hf/?page_id=169#comment-250 Went to your museum, fell in love with the P-51B with the only Malcolm hood in the world. Can you provide directions from Seattle? I got lost leaving your museum yesterday. Maybe publish a map. The Flying Heritage Collection staff provided me with directions from that museum. Your museum is a great one! Also love the Waco UPF-7 and the stripped-away T-6. I flew 747s with Northwest and was a Navy pilot in the mid-1950s. Your counter girl is beautiful. I have a book about the 361st FG with photos of Bocquin. I'll visit your museum again soon. Went to your museum, fell in love with the P-51B with the only Malcolm hood in the world.

Here's the link to the page of pics that has links to fly-by videos: http://www.pointshooting.com/1aflyby.htm Below are links to P-51 + B-25 video's. I made two. One is 15 megs with good quality, and one with 22 megs of better quality. If you like feel free to download the videos and add them to your site. You can also edit them as you wish. Lastly, I have put together a HD video that is very big and needs to be cut down and edited. I may work on that later. I plan to upload the smaller video to U-tube. http://www.pointshooting.com/kilo6a.wmv http://www.pointshooting.com/kilo6b.wmv I added some pics of your P-51 to may page of airplane pics and videos, and also put together a video of the 2 P-51’s + B-25 fly-by.
