    I follow this thread as an aviation "enthusiast." I never learned to fly, wish I had, but do enjoy air museums, shows, aviation movies, etc. But man, sometimes you guys talk in bizarre code!

    Took a buddy to up in his first small-plane flight yesterday. We flew around the Bay and then got breakfast at the Half Moon Bay Airport. He loved it so much he went home and signed up for an online Private Pilot ground school!

    The little building on the right is a nice restaurant if anyone can make it to KHAF.

    I was googling air shows around Seattle but never came across this one either. Of course Sea Fair pops up, but That was about it. Thanks for sharing!
