The Museum of Flight is an air and space museum at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington. It has a wide collection of planes, including:
- the "City of Everett", the Boeing 747 prototype
- the first presidential jet
- a British Airways Concorde (Number: 214. Registration: G-BOAG)
- the world's first fighter plane (a Caproni Ca 20)
- the only surviving Lockheed M-21 Blackbird.
On its grounds is the Red Barn, Boeing's original manufacturing plant. Through photographs and restoration of work stations the exhibits in the Red Barn illustrate how wooden aircraft structure with fabric overlays were manufactured in the early years of aviation.
