Museum Of Flight

All kinds of aeronautical and aerospace superstars alight at the Museum of Flight. You can’t really touch them very much, but at least you can see the Concorde you could not afford to fly in unless you & yours were privileged. It is just one of the airborne legends on display. The MOF is a very good family excursion. Be prepared for lines if peak season & touring of famous aircraft is involved. Gift shop is unique and will really please all types of airplane hobbyists. Whenever young people, especially the ones with flight fascination syndrome visit us from other parts of the country, we always treat them to a cruise by the Museum. They usually ask: how did they ever get those airplanes on the ceiling ?

I snapped a photo of a retired Concorde on display. Sadly, I’ll never get to ride one of these now, not that I could have afforded to even buy a ticket to fly anywhere on it!

I mean, few things are as great as a room full of airplanes!
That is, if you like airplanes. Which I do.
I need to go back, now that they have the Concorde (well, one of them) parked outside.

i used to live on a hill above an airport. i loved to watch them land and take off; it was relaxing. i even had a favorite plane that i’d watch for.

i’m very pleased too because i just found out that the museum of flight participates in first thursdays… which means i am going to the museum tomorrow.

i am very excited.

The hidden treasures in our city. The Museum of Flight is highly recommended in my book. Who knew it would be so fascinating…..one of my favorite exhibits was about the WASPS. Also you can tour a Concorde and an Air Force One as well as sit in many of the planes. It is a thoroughly entertaining time.
