Seattle is the place where two big names are known – it has the Boeing and the Microsoft companies which are interesting to see at least once in a lifetime.
The first of them, the Boeing – the museum of flight is available every day of the week and it is a weekend place choice to see, for the hardworking people. In this museum one can find all sorts of things, such as astronaut suit, a little history in the steward job (costumes, photos, requirements) or flight simulators. Apart from this, one should know that here one can also take flying lessons. The retiring age was of 30 years, according to the documents.
In this museum almost everything is related to the Russians and the Americans. Everything that the Russians did, the Americans did as well. A forever competition, where they fight to conquer the space, as well.
You will be able to climb into a Concorde and an Air Force One. They are fast, but the Concorde is quiet uncomfortable for one to stay in it. Anyhow, the Air Force One is exactly what you may imagine from the movies – a luxurious plane, with leather tapestry, very technical doted and capable to communicate at all times with the White House.
A visit to this museum deserves one day as there are quiet interesting things to see and discover here. Moreover if you want to hold a reception with a space theme, they have this possibility here, as well.
Enjoy!
