Of course, my husband could not not pass up on a visit to an aviation museum. This time it was the Museum of Flight.

We saw all sorts of planes from the Wright Flyer to...

WWII planes (P-38 Lightning)...
and modern planes (SR-71 fastest plane in the world)

Did you know how much land Germany controlled in WW2?

 |
| Variety of military and civilian planes |
Below is an older version of an American Airlines plane before they 'remodeled' to include more seats and minimal leg and seat room ... all to be able to cram more travelers to make more money.
The fastest passenger plane... British Airways Concorde.
And the most famous plane... Air Force One.

a FAKE temp. switch on Air Force One??!
where IS this museum?
In Seattle remember? Part of my vacation etc.. ? And no it's not a fake.. It's the real Air Force One.. but not the 'newest' model.. probably Air Force One.One and Obama has Air Force One.Eight or something like that.. Who wants to ride around in an old airplane anyways? It's like cars.. they have a new model every couple of years.. You know?
Cool how close you could get to these planes. Especially touring that air force one. Awesome!
Oops I spoke too soon. Apparently my husband corrected me on my misinterpreting of your question.. Yes there is a fake temp switch so his staff won't be bothered with him fiddling with it! So sorry for my error!!LOL!!
It's soooo interesting to see so many different air planes and specially Air Force One. I think I would like to visit too! ( I am trying to catch up with all these unread emails during the summer)
