I'm on the wet side for the next 5 or 6 days. I think there's a good museum over here somewhere. Like at BFI? Any ideas? Figured I go check it out before I leave.

There is a flight museum at Boeing Field. A very nice one, too.

Thanks, that's the one I was thinking of. Gonna go there.

If you can fit in a tour of the Boeing plant at Paine field that would be worth it. 747-8, 787, 777 and 767 production all under one roof. Very impressive.

Ther is also the museum at Paine Field. Lots of old vintage stuff. It is called Flying Heritage or something like that. If you only have time for one, the one at BFI is really good.

You can't swing a dead cat by the tail in the Puget Sound area without hitting an airplane museum. There is the big one, Boeing's Museum of Flight, at Boeing Field in Seattle. There are 2 different warbird collections (Paul Allen's & John Sessions') at Paine Field in Everett,plus the Museum of Flight's restoration shop, plus tours of the Boeing plant. More warbird museums at Bellingham (Bill Anders') as well as at Olympia. There are also vintage airplane collections at Jefferson County (Port Townsend Aero Museum) and at Concrete (Skagit Aero Education Museum).

I went to Flying Heritage Museum the last time I was in the Seattle area.... It's a little small but has a great collection of WW2 aircraft that they keep in flying condition.... It is on Paine field....

Made it to the Museum of Flight today at BFI, was great!
