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 |
