Visit to the Seattle Museum of Flight

Today we took a drive to the Seattle Museum of Flight http://www.museumofflight.org/ which is highly rated and I must say that it is worth the visit, it is a remarkably clean place with a good collection of aviation and space equipment. I was also surprised to see that it includes the original Boeing Aircraft factory timber building with some of the original woodworking equipment that was used to manufacture wooden structured aircraft. Here is a sample of the photos that we took today sorry if aircraft mean nothing to you.
