New Everett, WA resident Dragon Rapide G-AHXW ...

She arrived last Friday after a slow trip up the West Coast from California, they lost quite a bit of time stuck
in Oregon waiting for replacement Lucas magnetos to arrive from the UK. 

Her new home is as part of the Historic Flight Foundation collection at Paine Field.
I'll be heading down to the hangar to check her out soon, and expect to see her
over the house some time later this spring and into summer.

Noice!

I'll have to come down again some time and have a gander at it too

Beautiful.  That's a really tasteful and appropriate colour scheme for a graceful aircraft.

Magic. 

A DH89 was the first aircraft I ever flew in, an RAF Dominie actually, but the same shape. Fond memories.

It is indeed

Lovely!

I've not yet had the privilege of flying in an '89, although a friend is bringing one to next weekend's airshow. I doubt the owners would let him take aboard a free passenger!

HFF are planning on selling rides, it's tempting, as is their Staggerwing.

Cream and Green looks just right on that bird. I had a flight in a Rapide about 10 years ago and it was wonderful. If you get the opportunity, take it.
