Damn. Talk about a historic lineup. Do you know what year that was taken?

Boeing Field is the most magical place on Earth. All Of The Planes are there, and the museum on property is properly amazing.

Last time I visited the place, there was a ‘69 Daytona in the employee parking lot...it had to have belonged to an aerospace engineer.

Not sure.

We are going out there this weekend. There are warbirds at Boeing Field over the weekend. Ride a B-17 out of Boeng Field? Tempting.

We are doing something really special there on Friday. Delivery flight on a brand new 737. Not sure if I can post pics here, but I know where to find you.

Keep your eyes out for posts from this weekend or late next week. Hope to be able to share some cool pics.

Love it - spectacular pic.

We will be down there when my niece and nephew come out here later this summer. Can’t wait to see the huge new enclosure for the big jets. I took the pic below at the museum a couple years ago on the 3rd of July - better than fireworks. I could sit in the museum tower mock up, listen to the real tower audio and watch the planes take off and land for hours. I know it’s kind of cliche but that M-21 A-12 they have is just absolutely amazing.

When I was there, there was a 747-8 prototype hanging out, but more importantly, CATFISH:

I look forward to it, thanks. I’ve never ridden in a B-17, but I have climbed through one. I was amazed by how small it is inside for how big it looks on the outside. I could barely get my fat self through the catwalk in the bomb bay. You’ve probably heard me say this before, but I was taken by this stencil on the side of the B-17G I walked through. Max crew weight was 1200 lbs, with a ten-man crew. Of course, the crews were all 18-year-old farm boys and the pilots were maybe 25. People were also smaller back then.

I saw a BMW 2002tii in the parking lot the last time I was there.

Yeah, I imagine they flew over gross pretty often too.
