Thank you for the information.
I will be at Boeing Field 7:07 pm on 7/7/07.
I don't know that area very well, does anyone have a suggestion of a good place to set up camp to watch the 'show'?
I'll be parked at the Future of Flight parking lot at Paine Field, myself. I'll catch them as they take off.
Thanks for the info!
The Continental B757-224ER/Winglets will be N13110 for those wondering...
I'll have a few people at the mounds at PAE to catch this historic event unfold.
No word on the CO 757 or the 707 yet... no flight plans.
Can anyone post a google or mapquest link to Future of Flight parking lot at Paine Field?
Also, are there any special clearance or passes required?
That's it? A parade of sevens? Go to LAX and see this every day.
BFI has seen two Concorde visits (one permenant), the Dash 80, Stratoliner, hundreds of warbirds, an F-22 and various military jets including the Blue Angels.
I was hoping for something more to be quite honest. If it's an echelon flyby, then I'll stand corrected. But if it's just fly in of each type...
... snooze.
I'll stay home and then watch the rollout on DirecTV.
Found this great guide for plane spotting at Boeing Field:
