• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Mosquito and Spifire

I recognize Paine Field in Everett, WA from all the KC-46 (derived from the 767 airframe) parked in the background. When I was on that program back in 2018 we took delivery of the first 7 aircraft, with another 40 airframes already parked and waiting for finishing/rebuilding. At this point 5 years later we've taken delivery of 89 out of the 179 needed to complete the order for KC-46. For comparison, 89 would be about two months production for the 737 at its peak production rate.
 
I have seen that Spitfire fly, but I moved away just before they started flying the Mosquito. Probably my favorite aviation museum. I worked at an airport about half an hour north, and their MiG 29 would occasionally swing by and give us a few low passes down the runway. Once there was an ultralight in a tight pattern when the MiG blasted by. Pretty sure he needed a change of pants.
