Museum of Flight Rides
To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Gossamer Albatross Flight
over the English Channel, the club put together a few routes to the musuem.
|
The routes started from Gasworks Park, Mercer Island,
Downtown Auburn and Tukwila's Fort Dent Park.
|
Two of the routes were on urban streets with a few good climbs
and two were all on family friendly flat paved trails.
|
All routes had the Museum of Flight as a mid way point where
members could either picnic outside or dine inside at the Wings Cafe.
|
Along with getting to see the Gossamer Albatross at the museum,
members got to see a film taken of the plane crossing the channel.
|
In the main wing of the museum is a collection of all kinds of planes
from the early 30s and 40s as well as a replicate of the Wright's plane.
|
In the older section of the museum are replicates of early
aircraft construction including pictures of Boeing during WWII.
|
One wing of interest displayed planes from WWI and WWII,
showing the viewer how plane designs have evolved over the years.
