Boeing’s Museum of Flight
While living in Seattle, my parents and Dan all came to visit me over the 4th of July holiday. We spent one of our days together at the Boeing Museum of Flight.
Looking at the entrance from the tower
Inside the museum
Early flight ideas
Delivering the mail
Oooo – neat truck! (said at a flight museum; oh well)
Beautiful engine configuration
More bizarre flight ideas
Sunny days aren’t always good for lighting
Another mail delivery plane
Classic lines
And people complain about today’s seats
Think that’ll fit in my VW?
One of the sexier planes out there (oh, Hi Dan!)
Another view of the planes on display
Better than explosive underwear, I guess
Oh Canada!
Hmmm – not terribly legible
Blackbird
I’ve never seen a plane look so serious
Future pilot
These two cracked me up!!
Speaking of cracking me up…
I never could follow directions
After we looked at the main display area, we walked outside to see some of the larger planes.
The beginnings of Boeing
“Look at all of the wood!!!”
The Concorde
Inside the Concorde
Don’t forget to cancel the turn signal!
Outside of the Concorde
Air Force One (1959)
It looks so… quaint!
Cutting-edge technology
I wonder if peanuts were included in each flight
Many an important thought occurred here
“Please secure the line”
Dan says that most of those are fuses
After touring Air Force 1 and the Concorde, we went back inside and view the World War II display. Dan took all of these photos, so I don’t have much to say
Now the display goes back a war to World War I
Dropping water balloons?
