From another perspective! Great pics you posted in your thread, Doodle! I'm really sad to hear that Hell-er Bust may be leaving! I love that plane too, as I washed some 172's next to her a few times while I worked over at KAPE... certainly the most pristine airplane I've ever seen... the propeller blades don't even have a single dead bug or scratch on them! Amazing!
To start off, here are some of my shots from GA Day at Paine Field...

^Aviation legend Bud Granley leading the formation in the Jug. He's been flying at local airshows many years now and flies all of the aircraft at the Flying Heritage Collection. I had an amazing opportunity to go flying with him a couple months ago and pick his brain about flying all these wonderful warbirds.

Since there are so many here from the Seattle area, I better mention there is going to be another "Warbird Weekend" on the last weekend in September you all will have to go see.
BTW, is anyone going to be there this Saturday to see the Bf-109 and Storch? I'll be there wtih my Sigma 50-500mm lens, as usual!
