I would’ve liked to visit there when I was in Seattle last June, but our timetable for the Alaska cruise was tight and it didn’t fit. 
Maybe next time (we are planning on doing another Alaska cruise at some point) I will try to schedule this, especially as my 13 yr old daughter has stated she wants to be an aerospace engineer. 
She did a 1 week summer camp at Embry-Riddle last year and LOVED it.

Cool, my dad may have flown that Phantom, since he was at Da Nang at the same time.

I think that Ki-43 might be one of the last survivors in such good conditions.

Ok, So now I dont feel so geeky. When I saw the Oscar I was Stunned. I stood there and tried to remember if I had ever seen one in real life. NOPE, blank. Then this example looked so Pristine. Its like a lifesize model of an Oscar lol. Its a beauty.
So to explain, last time I was there it was crowded and I felt like leaving. I missed the WW1 and WW2 Exhibits. And More…
Here is more…

Great pics!
What is that crazy yacht/plane/drone/cruise missile looking thing?
edit-
ha wait sorry I should have clicked on the picture to make it bigger! I thought the cabin/passenger windows of the jet behind were part of that thing - still not sure what it is, a giant cruise missile?
That is a US Cruise Missile. The B52 carries a bunch in a Rotary Bay.

That Yak-3 is so bad ass. My favorite Russian design.
Ditto! I wish we had the 9U in DCS. It covers WW2 and Korea.

They’re selling Winwing throttles rebranded?? That’s an Orion 2 throttle base with F/A-18 grip.
Yes it is sir. I just got the little Chrome badge from the shop. It comes with peel and stick stuff. I put it on soon as I got home. I was doing '18 stuff all week. How lucky am I?

Oh, ok, you did the sticky on there. I was wondering about the logistics of it coming that way.
