March 23, 2013 - The Red Barn


   

Seattle's Museum of Flight is located south of downtown on the site of The Boeing Company's original manufacturing plant, a big red barn.  Every hour dozens of the company's products fliy by on their way to land at SeaTac Airport.





More than 40 aircraft, including one of only 4 F2G-1 "Super Corsairs" made (above) and a Sikorsky HH-52A (below), are housed in the museum's Great Gallery.



Other exhibits include 18 aircraft from WWI and 10 WWII aircraft.  Seen below are the P-51, Yak-9, P-47 and P-38.  In the Airpark outside are located a Concorde, the first jet Air Force One, the first 747, the first 737 and a Lockheed Super Constellation.
