I couldn’t see any more PBY, 🙁 but there was plenty of ‘junk’ that side of the fence. The next few shots are on on the AMARG grounds or flying into/around Davis-Monthan

Day 4. Well after an early morning get up (even by my standards) my girlfriend and I get to Reagan Airport only to find our flight was cancelled!:mad: But the airline managed to switch our flight to one that left from Dulles, but not for some 10 hours! so after getting to Dulles and depositing our bags we where forced to find something to do…. So Back to the Udvar-Hazy it was.:diablo:
