Title: Seattle's Museum of Flight
Post by: TBird1958 on December 10, 2019, 03:55:02 PM

Should anyone's travels take them to Seattle, I'd highly recommend our Museum of Flight as a must see, it's beautifully done with a separate wing of Boeing history, WWI and WWII fighter aircraft, a large covered hanger for bigger planes and an inside hall with aircraft hanging as well.

Here's a few shots from a recent visit, it was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon (instead of the mall!)

Love the photos, and I'll try to get there next time I'm in town.

I visited the Lemay Museum, "America's Car Museum," in Tacoma a few years ago - it's also WELL worth the visit.  Fantastic stuff there!
