It is kind of ironic that http://www.museumofflight.org/visit/ doesn't

tell
you how to fly there.


Ironic? Given that (according to Bela) they no longer allow you to park at
the museum, I think it makes perfect sense that they don't bother to tell
you how to fly there.

That said, from their FAQ:

Q. Can I fly in and park my aircraft at the Museum while I visit?
A. Yes. We can accommodate several visiting aircraft. You must
contact our Security Department in advance to make arrangements.

If the person Bela talked to was correct, they ought to update their web
site.

Also, even if you can't fly in, it does seem a little silly that nowhere
obvious on their web site do they mention that they are actually located AT
an airport. The "can I fly in" question implies that, but still doesn't
mention at *which* airport they are, not in that particular Q&A (the first
question does mention it, but it wouldn't be where you'd look if you were
thinking of flying in).

You can find references to Boeing Field on the web site, but you either have
to use their search feature to find the pages, or go browsing around in
non-obvious places to find the references. And you have to suspect in the
first place that it's located at an airport, since there doesn't seem to be
any mention of that in the top-level pages for visitor information.

I don't know if it really qualifies as ironic, but for sure it's pretty lame
that they aren't more forthcoming about the airport-based nature of the
museum. Even if you can't fly in.
