Seattle Air Museum 8/01
The Seattle Air Museum has a good collection of vintage aircraft. The Boeing company's original woodworking shop ("the Barn") is even part of the museum grounds, and it contains some of the older specimens. The main hall is cavernous and well-lit. All the aircraft are in excellent condition. The museum still has plenty of empty space for new exhibits, too.
