Introduction
The Museum of Flight beside Boeing Field in south Seattle is one of the world's largest independent air museums. Its 150+ aircraft range from a Wright Flyer replica to the Concorde, a full-size space shuttle trainer and a 'first Air Force One'; the Boeing Red Barn — the company's original factory — tells the industry story, and a working restoration shop is on view.
