The aircraft modelers amongst us in Seattle, or going to Seattle after April 30, might be interested in this Seattle Times article:
"... But [Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen] will soon end the secrecy by opening his Flying Heritage Collection to anyone willing to pay $20 to view a Nazi V-1 "buzz bomb"; a P-51D Mustang, one of the United States' most storied warplanes; Japan's lethal Zero Fighter; or a Vickers-Supermarine Ltd. Mk.VC Spitfire, the backbone of British air defense against attacks by Nazi bombers.
"Starting April 30, Allen will begin allowing tours of no more than 15 people, on a reservation-only basis. The funds generated by the tour will be used for care and maintenance of the collection. ..."
And in a sidebar:
"The collection is at the Arlington Airport, 17622 49th Place N.E. in Arlington. Reservations to view the collection may be made by calling
360-435-2172. Information also is available on the Internet at
2 to 4 p.m. Admission is $20 a person; $16 for senior citizens and veterans."
I couldn't find any notes as to whether cameras would be allowed inside, let alone whether they'd allow walkarounds.
The Seattle Times article says there's more information at , but I can't get to that site right now...
