Standing atop a ladder, Oliver Johnson, 7, of Picnic Point takes a peek inside a Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina aircraft Sunday, Sept. 3, during the Historic Flight Foundation’s Vintage Aircraft Weekend at Paine Field airport.

Oliver came to the show with his grandfather, Jerry Rogers, who said Oliver is fascinated with all things planes, trains and automobiles.

After serving in WWII, the Catalina served on search and rescue missions and later was used fight forest fires.
