About this event
ACNW Social Event – Museum of Flight, Boeing Field, Jaunary 18th, 2020
Who would like to walk off some holiday party calories, while enjoying exotic aircraft, spacecraft and innovative technologies? Please join us Saturday, January 18th to explore the Museum of Flight.
The Museum of Flight at Boeing Field is home to William E. Boeing’s original “Red Barn” factory and is the largest independent non-profit air and space museum in the world. Our Puget Sound leadership in aviation started here, and soared around the world. The museum galleries allow you to travel through time, witness major milestones in civil and military aviation, all the way into space. From Bill Boeing’s 1916 Model 1 B&W Seaplane, to Apollo exhibits, to UAV’s, this tour spans generations.
Our tour will be personally led by trained and experienced Museum of Flight docents who share a passion for the history of aviation and space exploration.
Trip Advisor lists Museum of Flight as #4 on the sites to see in Seattle!
