Flying Heritage Collection (P-51s, Bf-109, others) from Military Photos by Hellfish6
Last weekend I went up to Everett and checked out the Flying Heritage Collection and the Museum of Flight's restoration facility. Pretty interesting stuff they had there - I got to experience a flyby from three P-51s and a Bf-109 and got to check out a lot of other rare things. Interesting to note that all of the Flying Heritage Collection's aircraft, save the Me-163, I imagine, are flight worthy and are flown pretty frequently.
