    This ad appears in the new issue of "Air Classics" magazine, along with articles on two new flyers in Paul Allen's collection: an Fw 190A and a B-25J. Also, the latest Me 262 built next door has been switched from the single-seat canopy to the two-seat one; it's a good thing they made those airplanes "convertible"!

    John Sessions operation, Historic Flight is also at the south end. He too has a B-25 (Grumpy) and a screaming F7F Tigercat. http://historicflight.org/hf/
    He also recently had a Mig 29 restored and flown out of there and looking to do some more.

    Check out the collection. Very impressive.

    Both outfits have free "Fly-days" many times throughout the year, some together, some separate.

    When I am working down at the north end I get to see assorted fly-bys on occasion.
    The Tigercat is awesome!

    When I was working there in 1979-80, Boeing was about the only thing there that made Paine out of the ordinary. Now it's become the "Chino of the Northwest"! No wonder it's a regular stop now on my occasional Seattle trips. It's more interesting now than Boeing Field.
