Museum of Flight

It has been at least 10 years since I've been to the Museum of Flight,  but today had the opportunity to fly up from Oregon and spend a few hours there. When I lived in the Seattle area we'd regularly visit the Museum but this was the first time I was able to fly to the museum. I learned to fly at Boeing Field (KBFI) and it was fun flying the VFR arrival (also on the Seattle Fly charts) procedure(s) that I used to fly regularly during flight training. The museum has grown in exhibits since the last time I visited and was impressed at the latest static display and the square feet of aircraft on display. The vast floor space required was evident when you have a 787 parked next to a 747 as the two aircraft weren't crammed into the space. The space shuttle display was also quite impressive.
