Good meuseum to visit (lots of heavy Iron) is about 20 miles +/- north
of Seattle. Ask some of the locals for location.


Good luck with that Jay. I'm not aware of any museum "20 miles +/- north of
Seattle". The (Boeing Field) Museum of Flight's restoration center is at
Paine Field (Snohomish County Airport) in Everett, and while there are a few
"heavy Iron" planes up there, I wouldn't call the numbers "lots".
http://www.museumofflight.org/visit/ (scroll to the bottom for info about
the restoration center)

A little further north from that is Paul Allen's Flying Heritage collection
at Arlington Airport. Tours by appointment only, and very expensive
relative to the number of planes there (though I did enjoy my visit
there...just not everyone's cup of tea). http://www.flyingheritage.com/

Doesn't sound like to me you'd wind up heading that far north of Seattle
anyway, but I've got no idea what the person posting as "Big John" is
referring to, and I doubt any of the other locals would either. There
aren't any actual museums per se in that general vicinity (even if there are
several good places to visit planes )
