A Pictorial Guide to Aviation Fun

Most know the thrill of aviation through commercial flights from international airports while others are familiar with it through private and recreational flying. But one doesn't have to buy an airline ticket at the airport to enjoy the wonders of aviation. In fact, just visiting the airport is a great way to get a taste of aviation. Museums, private collections, and turning your head skyward are just a few other options for getting to know a little more about those flying machines and what they've accomplished in little over a century.

Here in the Puget Sound there are plenty of opportunities to interact with aircraft and the world of aviation. Take these examples in our neighborhood and just down the block for starters and see for yourself:
