I attended a Fly Day sponsored by the Heritage Flight Museum at the Skagit Regional Airport.  I wasn’t sure exactly what would be there. I was thrilled to see, and hear, this big warbird. The smoke at engine start really captured my attention.  It was the first time I had ever seen one fly.  It was the highlight of my day!
