Remarks: Here is another of the beautifully preserved aircraft at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. This VC-137B is the ex US Presidential aircraft 'Air Force One'. These 707 based aircraft will always hold a special place in my heart and i love any opportunity to get up close to one and photograph it. The colours and the livery on this aircraft looked stunning in the flesh and i'm so very glad we had such great weather in which to photograph it. (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Boeing Field is a fantastic facility. Not only do you have the amazing Museum of Flight which houses some of the best aircraft that have been built over the decades you also have a multitude of Boeing test aircraft and pre delivery aircraft flying in and out and also lots of private biz jet traffic such as this one. Here is a Falcon 2000 landing against a classic Washington state backdrop of the lovely fir trees. (5D2/70-200F2.8LIS)
Remarks: It was always my dream to be able to travel on Concorde but unfortunately that never happened, thankfully due to them all being preserved i was able to get on board 'Alpha Golf' in Seattle and take this shot of it's cabin. The Concorde is without a doubt BA's most iconic passenger aircraft. It screams beauty, elegance and luxury yet has a simple and quite understated cabin. Here you can see the 2-2 seating configuration and the nice subtle grey leather seats, showing their age with the slight coating of dust. I can only imagine the feeling of being sat in these seats and watching the screen at the front of the cabin read 'Mach 2'. (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Well this was nice to find in the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, i love 727's and i wasn't photographing when these AA ones were active so it was nice to be able to add one to my collection here. Here is the nose section of this old 727 sitting here in the sun. It's years outside is causing it's paint to fade however the nice shine of the chrome remains. (5D2/17-40F4L)
