The Aviation Pavilion at the Museum of Flight in Seattle has a huge collection of original aircraft of all sizes and shapes.
These are real ones and not scale models.
A tour guides told us the whole history of the airplanes from the earliest times and how the CIA used some of them for spying.
They have even kept the cross-section open so that mechanical engineers like me can feast on the internal parts and working.
For example, this FedEx plane shows how the parcels and airmail are stuffed inside.
The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
The exhibition is priceless. They have staircase to climb and enter the 747 Jumbo Jet and take a walk-through tour.
There is also an original Super Concorde and the Air Force One, all of which are breathtakingly beautiful.
