Museum of Flight

Our final day in Seattle turned educational for the boys - a trip to the Museum of flight.  A fantastic display of planes from the two world wars, as well as a collection of more modern aircraft, including walk on access to a British Airways concorde and  Air Force 1 from the 1960s.used by such greats as Kennedy and Nixon!.  Our skills were put to the test landing on the moon and a space walk to fix the hubble telescope.  Of particular note was the motion sickness machine known as the 4D flight simulator in which we tried unsuccesfully to fly a P50 mustang in a dogfight - they won!




Theh day was finished off with a last night out in Seattle to a Jimmy rockets Diner. A malt shop to rival the best of happy days.
