June 15 - Return to Tacoma

A railroad track runs near Cliff and Dorine's home. I stopped and grabbed a shot of this neat old trestle that spans a farmer's access road.

As we came past the Olympia Regional Airport, we noted that they had a small flying museum on site. A quick u-turn and we were there. This is a shot of one of their aircraft, an L-39 Albatros painted in 'Agressor' colors, as used in fighter training by the USAF.

Here's the left side of their SNJ-6 (theNavy's version of the Republic T-6 'Texan') with Felix the Cat delivering the destructive hardware.

Right side of the same aircraft. Notice the models hanging from the ceiling.

A very nice museum if you ever get to the area. All their aircraft are airworthy and will participate in a local airshow next weekend. We were disappointed to find that they have a P-51 which was in the maintenance shop today, being prepped for the airshow.
