Great shots Jim. Didn't know that Spitfire was now in the 'States - saw it at Duxford last year.

Beauty shots Jim. What might the blue tinged airliner be?

You know I can tell you the dash number from F8F-1 through a TB-25N...but I know nothing about jets. Boeing builds a lot of aircraft at Paine Field and they do a lot of testing before paint. There are a few 747s and Dreamliners as well sitting in the hue around the airport.

I'm thinking 777.

Good shots Jim. I was just down there a few weeks ago and most of the aircraft were up at Abbotsford.

Beaut shots Jim.
That B-25 Mitchell was at Duxford, UK, for just over twenty years, before returning to the 'States in August 2009, in the colours of 98 Sqn's 'Grumpy', which she wore from soon after arrival at DX.
Here's what she looked like when she first arrived in the UK, registered as N88972.
