Jay -

I just stayed at the Homewood Suites in Downtown Seattle. A very nice
property and a great staff. A few block drive gets you onto the
Alaskan viaduct, an older but very interesting "over - under" limited
access road that will take you almost straight down to East Marginal
where the Museum is. It provided tremendous views of the harbor.

As you approach Boeing Field, stop the car and let someone else drive.
The rubbernecking opportunities come too fast to have to be concerned
with defensive driving. About 1/2 mile from the museum, I caught a
quick glimpse of a B-47 Stratojet. It was the quickest of glances, but
it looks as if it just rolled out of production. The Museum is very
good (to me one of the better ones).

Impressions: Air Force One was not as "swanky" as I would expected,
functional yes, and with room to spread out, but not nearly as nice as
the interiors of some exec 727's

The Concorde cabin looked and felt a lot like a Regional Jet cabin, the
only difference being in leg room. Otherwise the cabin and the seats
looked narrow.

Enjoy

Blue Skies
