My favorite spot - especially if there is a north wind pattern - is
the parking lot behind the Museum of Flight at the south end of Boeing
field on the west side. No charge to be in the parking lot or on
their patio, and the afternoon sun with trees in the background make
for decent photos.

Most other spots around are blocked by fences, snoopy King County
security / FBO employees (though not all) and truly paranoid Boeing
Security folks. There tend to be fairly large crowds on that day.

Attached taken from that location, though not during SeaFair. And
note that you can't see the actual air show itself from Boeing Field;
I just can't handle the travel to and ~real~ crowds on Lake Washington
itself. The air show is actually sort of a space filler between heats
of the hydroplane races.

Any interest in meeting and taking pics together?


Assuming my health allows (not a guarantee these days) that would be
neat!

Notwithstanding the bizarre weather this area has had the last few
months, I wouldn't be overly surprised to see what is statistically
the warmest and driest week of our year end up with snow and/or
plagues of frogs... =}

Hi Bob! Thanks for the reply and the information.

I'm looking into the possibility of going out there for a visit. My health
isn't the greatest either.....so this might be a last moment decision.......

Would you like to email me privately and we can discuss this further? It
might help me make up my mind.

Email me at

Regards,

Nick
