While we were in Seattle in May of 2016 checking out the Space Needle, Microsoft, Boeing, and Pike Place Market, my husband toured the Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington. Here are his memories from his visit. The Museum of Flight in Tukwila, Washington is one of the largest aviation museums in the world. It is located next to Boeing Field and one of Boeing’s manufacturing plants, so many classic Boeing aircraft are of course represented, but the collection contains many others.
He had a great time touring the Museum of Flight and took a lot of pictures. Too many pictures to actually put on this page, so I created the short video above. Hope you enjoy his post and pictures. Looks like he had a great time during his visit. Here is a link to their website for more information than what is posted below.
