The Museum of Flight

The Museum of Flight is definitely worth seeing if you make it out this way, and be sure to leave enough time to get through it! Throughout the museum, there are various aircraft sitting or hanging in such a way that they can be seen from more than one angle.


There were also many displays that were kid friendly:



There was an entire area devoted to the first flight. It is called the Red Barn. Amazing stuff.

They had a control tower overlooking active runways that displayed replicas of some of the instruments air traffic controllers use.

Ian was incredibly silly all day. Somebody PLEASE tell me this is a stage. Mike and Jeff have been calling him "Calvin".

Popa (Ian's paternal grandfather) told Ian to keep a lookout for a P-51 Mustang. Sure enough, they had one there!

There were also things there that made you look twice:


We spent at least three, if not four, hours there, and Ian wasn't bored!
