Instead of joining the masses in post-Thanksgiving materialistic consumption, I payed a visit to the Museum of Flight. The museum is comparable to the Smithsonian's in in Washington, D.C. It has everything from a replica of the Wright Brother's Kitti Hawk, to the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird seen in the picture bellow. In this picture you can also see several other planes including an Extra 300, two NASA experimental planes, US and USSR war planes, some older commercial planes and a replica of the Viking Mars Lander.
Most of the planes are on display in large hangars where it's nice and warm. However, some of the cooler larger planes are on display outside where it's cold and windy. One of the planes outside includes this recently retired British Airways Concorde.
