Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! After breakfast out, we took Wayne to the Museum of Flight just south of Seattle. Wayne had been there for a Microsoft dinner a few years ago but didn't really get to look around. We got there nice and early so the place wasn't too crowded. It was a really neat museum. We took a ton of pictures, which I'll post in small batches.
In this set, you see Wayne trying out the cockpit of an SR-71. It was so cute because he joined a line of "kids" eager to play pilot.
Anyway, we got to walk through the Concorde as well as an Air Force One used by Nixon and his staff. It had a doggy door between his room and the larger area used by the staff and press corp! It wasn't quite as luxurious as I had envisioned, but it was waaaaaaay more roomy than the Concorde. A couple guys in line ahead of us had flown on the Concorde and were sharing storied with us. Took them less than three hours to go between Washington, DC (Dulles) and London. A neat experience I'm sure, but I'm not certain I'd've survived the low ceilings and narrow aisle that long.
