Re: Pacific Northwest visit
The Paul Allen museum: "The Flying Heritage Museum" is definitely worth a trip, allow at least a couple of hours. Almost all the planes in the museum are flying and there are some very rare birds.
Be sure and take the tour through the Boeing plant, it's excellent. If it's not Boeing, I'm not going... Not far from the FHM. The Boeing collection restoration facility is near the FHM as well. The Boeing museum is at the old airport in south Seattle.
Also, take a ride across Puget Sound on one of the ferries, while you can still afford it.
Here's a picture of two of the FHM aircraft on one of the flight days. Hard to believe these two planes are only 25 years apart. Let me cast a vote also for the WAAM in Hood River, OR. Lots of interesting old cars and planes.
