Today we went to the Museum of Flight in Boeing Field.

It’s a really cool day out and doesn’t cost too much – I’m not sure how they afford to keep the place going actually.  Anyway, I went in, camera in hand with a tripod and started shooting.  It was quite funny actually as there were loads of other photogs and they were giving me dirty looks as their clearly didn’t think they could bring in a tripod.

The museum has a number of exhibit areas, the largest of which is the main hall which is literally full of planes either on the floor or hanging from the ceiling.  One of the cooler (I think) areas is the war plane section.  It’s pretty dark in there so the tripod was a real necessity.  I was capturing images with exposure times of over a minute.

Today’s image is a Goodyear FG-1D Corsair.  It’s really cool with folded up wings and the colors in the room looked fab.

Dinner after the museum was at Claim Jumper where they have kids menu’s with cross word puzzles.  Hence the image below:
