Pix of Seattle's Museum of Flight

Some pix from our trip there last week may be viewed here:

The Boeing tour is awesome, and the M of F is just a helluva great museum.
These two stops truly made our journey to Seattle (for my nephew's wedding)
a fantastic time. I can highly recommend both venues if you ever get the
opportunity to visit the Seattle area.

Is that the "Long-nose" FW-190 they got from Arizona?

Nice Pics Jay H,

By the way, that "smallish" 747 that is parked with the former AF1?

IIRC, that it is "THE 747."

That is to say it is THE airframe upon which Boeing bet the company at the
time.

Congrats to the newlyweds as well...

Yep. If you read the history of Boeing, you will find that they have "bet
the farm" over and over, and come out successful each time. (Of course, the
same cannot be said of many other big airplane manufacturers...) Let's
hope their current timid reaction to the new Airbus A380 doesn't signal the
demise of Boeing's gunslinger attitude.

Yeah, they should be in Greece about now. Nothing like a 2-week European
honeymoon to start a marriage off right!

I believe it is.

Along with many other aircraft as well.
