Was suppose to be heading back up to Alaska Thursday for a 3 week gig that got postponed for a week...Yippee!..throw the dogs in the truck and high tail it to Seattle ... Never been to the Boeing flight museum before so decided to check it out ....

 

 

 

 

 

Dang ... I don't have a wide enough camera lens for this baby ... 

 

 

 

 

Here's the Concorde's cockpit ... made me think about the poor bastards trying to keep her sister in the air after the fuel tank got ruptured...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know if I'd be comfortable in here ... kinda like a 3rd class car on a night train to Calcutta ... with cushions and bloody mary's... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Air Force One ... old 707 ... used by Eisenhower thru Reagan

 

 

 

 

 

Air Force One cockpit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Johnson taking the oath after Kennedy assasination up in the air ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's where Reagan did his duties (notice Johnsons hat and Kennedy's pipe holder)

 

 

 

 

Here's where Reagan did his other duties ...

 

 

 

 

 

I'd kill to fly in one of these Super Constellation's

 

 

 

 

 

It's tail end is just beautiful ...

 

 

 

 

 

The worlds first fighter aircraft ... yikes....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part of a floor exhibit ... Check out that V1 buzz bomb at bottom ... My grandmother said you were not too concerned when they buzzed overhead ... it was when the buzzing suddenly stopped that you ran for cover ...

 

 

 

 

 

Another angle of the floor ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moon Rock about 4 or 5 inches high ...

 

 

 

 

 

A very sexy Pratt and Whitney

 

 

 

 

 

After the Museum I ran over to the LSAW in Tacoma yesterday and look who I run into ... Doug and Doug ...

 

 

 

 

 

Doug Wolfe,  Radar, Party Crasher, Bob Dahl, Jerry Broadus, and...uhhh...shoot...cant remember...sorry....
