Mid-June is the time for the Olympic Air Show at Olympia and, while it provides a bunch of interesting aircraft to see flying, I am always going to be attracted by the only chance to see a flying Kaman Huskie. It is such a curious thing to see fly. The way in which it just gets airborne with no obvious change in appearance or sound is fun, but it also can put on a rapid turn of speed.
I was going to make sure to get images of it while I can, but I also wanted to shoot some video since that helps give an appreciation of the way in which it flies. That will show up in a separate post soon. I was quite happy with my choice of days for the show. Saturday had experienced some nice weather but also some torrential rain. Sunday was a mix of conditions too but only the barest hint of rain and things were generally good. Will I be there next year to see it fly again? Who knows.
