On Saturday, the ladyfriend and I, went to the Museum of Flight because they had a free day, in fact I guess lots of museums around the country were free. Unfortunately some of the pictures are blurry, because it's dark inside and I didn't use a flash. Nobody else was using their flashes either. Nobody. It was weird. I know you're not really supposed to use it, because it can damage some things, but still, you'd think there'd be some dumbass mouthbreather who's all, "Hurr hurr, I'ma git me a pitcher of dat dere captured Jap flag! Bonzai, Tojo, hashtag they deserved it, hyuck hyuck! 'Merica." But no, nobody was using the flash on their cameras.







This is some sort of Soviet sex chair, I dunno, I didn't read the signs, but we all know those commies were sexual deviants.
















































This is what Boeing uses to steal into people's dreams to give them night terrors about riding AirBus.


This is where model airplanes are built.




















































I just found this to be terrifying nightmare fuel too. 2-dimensional people, trapped in a 3-dimensional world. Also they're black and white. It looks like Nigel ate some bad rye and now he's tripping balls, just what you want when you're about to climb into your Sopwith Camel to do battle with the Boche










Very pistol. Much flare. Wow.
























Presidents have pooped here!

Great photos, thanks. The commies weren't just sexual deviants, they were preverts.

Flew the F4 Phantom II in the late 60's. Hate to see her all cooped-up like that. She needs space to be appreciated.

Just up north of there in Everett Wa. is Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection where he has a collection of WWII aircraft that he has restored to flying condition. Here is an example. This is the only FW190 D-13 (Dora) left in the world and it is flyable.

That is an amazing place and it is unbelievably large. I want to take my family eventually but in the mean time, those pics are perfect.
