a few West coast ones... :-)

S16 - Copalis State. Land right on the beach... :-) It is a kind of
popular place in Washington state. I have yet to do this, and my
instructor
hasn't done it yet either. I don't know of many beaches that you are
acutally allowed to land on. :-)

MMV - McMinneville, Or. They have a pretty cool air museum here, and is
the
current home of the Spruce Goose.

BFI - Boeing Field, Seattle, WA - Museum of Flight
(www.museumofflight.org)
, one of the best aviation museums on the west coast. Can walk through a
Concorde, and the first jet Air Force One.

I wish you could walk through the Concorde. Instead you can step aboard
and peer down the isle through a plexiglass panel. Even moth-balled, it's
still too special for the hoi-polloi...



You aren't missing much in the Concorde cabin. I flew on it from Heathrow to
Bahrain in '76. The seats were nice leather but the size of standard coach
seats. The food was good and the view out the window was interesting but
other than that it felt like a really long regional jet. Thank god it was
fast because it was not comfortable.
