A visit to the Museum of Flight

I decided to beat the heat on a hot afternoon and visit the nearby airplane museum. Seattle is a major town for air travel history, as Boeing is located here.

It was quite an experience, covering multiple acres and several large hangars.Everything from wright brothers to modern jets. And things from the space program are displayed here. Its like the west coast version of the Smithsonian air and space museum in D.C.

I went aboard the Concorde and and older Air Force One. Very interesting! I also got to g in Space shuttle training unit, and part of the space station.

I really liked seeing the Stealth Jet, SR71... when i was growing up, this was still very mysterious and top secret... if this sits in a museum, whats the top secret plane like now? Wow!

This was far more interesting and expansive than i expected, and i should have gone earlier in the day, as i had to leave due to closing time, and was a bit more to see.

So don't miss this if visiting the Seattle area...
