The Museum of Flight
Specialty Museum · Seattle, Washington
The largest private air and space museum in the world, on the southern edge of Boeing Field where Boeing has been building aircraft since 1916. It grew out of a volunteer preservation group founded in 1965 and is now a collection you can walk through rather than only look at: the first jet Air Force One, a Concorde, the prototype 747, and the original 1909 Boeing factory building moved here and rebuilt. It sits fifteen minutes south of downtown and takes most of a day.
