Although a smaller turnout than previous years, the 2005 Gathering of Warbirds hosted by the Olympic Flight Museum. As always the highlights were the museum's own AH-1 Cobra along with Bud Granley's displays in the P-51 Mustang and A-1 Skyraider. Bud's routine in the P-51 has to be seen to believe. He really pushes it to the limit. And the things he does with the museum's Skyraider are incredible. Below is a gallery of images from the show.
