More pictures of Boeing AST

This plane has been based at Boeing Field for several years. I've heard that it is a Star Wars testbed with a laser gun in it, I've heard that it is a photo plane which takes pictures of satellites. I've been informed that it is a part of missile testing flying to Kwajalein to photograph incoming missiles launched from California. Going to this page requires some scrolling because these pictures are large.

 

The Seattle Flight Museum, Seattle, Washington

You know you're getting old when the plane you started your flying career in is in the museum. Yes, there is also a flyable Boeing Tri Motor in this museum. Going to this page requires scrolling. The pictures are full size and haven't been made smaller to fit your screen.

 

Aviation Stories

This is a collection of aviation stories I think are interesting.

Martin Mars, World's Largest Operational Seaplane

The Martin Mars on a Lake on Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada, less than 100 miles from my home. This plane and its sister plane, are used to fight forest fires.

 

Lake Washington

Lake Washington is on the east side of Seattle. There are major seaplane bases at Kenmore (Kenmore Air Harbor) at the north end of Lake Washington and Renton (Renton Airport) on the south end of Lake Washington. My page has a formation take off of 4 DeHavilland Beaver Seaplanes.

 

 

Lake Union, Seattle, Washington

Adjacent to downtown Seattle. The place I took my very first flying lesson in a Taylorcraft on pontoons at Kurtzer's. Now home to several seaplanes and a terminal for Kenmore Air Harbor's flights to the San Juan Islands, Victoria, B.C., and points north.

 

Boeing Field, Seattle, Washington

Home of the world's premier jumbo jet company and the Seattle Flight Museum

 

Paine Field, Everett, Washington

Where Boeing 747s and 777s are born and location of the largest building in the world. Also, planes bound for the Seattle Flight Museum are prepped here.

 

Kenmore Air Harbor,

The Largest Seaplane Base in the World with tons of DeHavilland Beavers, Otters, Cessnas and other seaplanes.

 

Air Traffic Control Center, Kent, WA

Miles from the nearest airport, this radar center is extremely interesting.

Renton Airport, Renton, WA

Where the most popular jet liner in the world is born. The 737 is built here and Boeing's first factory was here.

 

NAS Whidbey Island Past Airshow Pictures

The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Air Show is one of the finest in the Northwest. Now that Paine Field's Air Show is gone, this is the closest big Air Show around Shoreline. The unlimited hydro plane races on Lake Washington have a great Air Show, but you can't walk around the planes and get near them.

Boeing Osprey

The Boeing VTOL craft built for the Marines. I personally enjoy the technology, but don't think this is a practical aircraft. I believe it is so inherently dangerous, that it won't really make a mark in military aviation.

I'm looking for pictures of weird looking and ugly aircraft. If you have any links to sites with airplanes like that, I would appreciate your sharing them with me. Attach them to e-mail to me at drdan71@aol.com.
