Aircraft Pics -- Seattle's Museum of Flight

A few weeks ago, I was able to visit this museum and took a few photos. Thought some might enjoy them. A very nice museum.

I concur, the Museum of Flight is a nice stop for aero enthusiasts. Lots of artifacts from the space age back to the dawn of flight.

The planes are a nice collection of replica and vintage planes. Even a Joe Werner hut of sorts. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice pics btw...

Thanks Tim. Yes, the space area is very nice, too. Also, the Boeing "Red Barn"--where Boeing started out.

Agreed!





If anyone would like me to post any other photos of the WWI section, I may have taken it. Also, took a pic of a few engines.

Cheers,

This appears to be a much larger facility than the Champlain museum in Arizona where many of these came from.

It is state of the art! On a par with the National Air & Space Museum, but the aircraft are more accessible.
