Museum of Flight - Seattle WA

Guess who’s back with another post :upside_down_face:

On Saturday (March 8th), I decided to take a day trip to Seattle; a place I’d never been to outside of the airport! It was long day but a good one indeed! Traveling there, I was on UA204 and coming back to Denver was UA757. Whilst I was there, I crossed of a bucket list item going to the Museum of Flight!! Enjoy these 10 pictures of the roughly 300 I took :melting_face::sweat_smile:



Greeting all patrons at the entrance is this 1953 built Lockheed L’1049G’ “Super Connie” of Trans Canada Airlines! Before coming here, I knew of the Connie’s but never expected them to be so massive! For all who are curious, this website has a lot of cool info about the history of this particular aircraft!



Also near the entrance is this Blue Angels F/A-18!



A 1969 built 737-201 for Piedmont airlines and later transferred to USAir! This was donated to the museum around 1995 and still has the original first class and economy seats and analog cockpit on display!



This wooden frame exibit was part of the WWI collection! By the time I came around to this area of the museum, I was rushed for time and didnt get much of a chance to read about the exhibits :sob:



SR71 Blackbird!!



Concorde Cockpit! Walking through here made me veryyyyy clostrophobic :face_with_spiral_eyes:



Concorde Aft Cabin



Its the 8th wonder of the world; Its the backside of a 787-8 engine!



A very old picture of 707’s being built! In this lineup is American, Continental and TWA*



To make @Mort happy and get his approval of the post, here is a sun country 737-800 that was trying to race my A319 to 16R for departure. Ultimately we won :trophy:

Not glazing this is the best aviation museum I’ve ever been to, mostly because of how much exhibits you’re allowed to go inside of which a lot of other aviation museums don’t allow.

Perfect timing and great pics. I’ll be headed to Seattle in June and wanted to go here. You think this could easily take up a full day or can you do it in less time?
