Washington State in the Fall

It's been a GREAT couple of weeks for flying here in the Pacific Northwest. A week ago I was at Bremerton airport and I saw the Grumman I owned back in the early 1980s. My partner at the time and I put the paint scheme on the plane that it still sports and it still looks good. I still prefer my Maule that is parked next to it.
This is a shot of Mount Rainier looking over the last of the forest fire smoke that plagued our area all summer
Here's Roche Harbor airport from 2,500'. My wife and I saw a LOT of humpback whales from the air this day
When it is good here, it is VERY good!
This shows some lakes on Orcas Island and Eastsound. We had lunch in town here. KORS is a fabulous 20 minute hop from 0S9 where our plane is based.
This is the view from the Madrona Bar & Grill where we had lunch in the town of Eastsound on Orcas Island. The town is a short walk from the airport.
Here's the view of Sucia Island on takeoff from Orcas
Here's a shot of our "glory" on the fog over Whidbey Island as we flew to the San Juans
Here's sunset over Hood Canal on the way home
