Paul Allen (yes, THE Paul Allen) is quite an aviation history buff, and one of his "hobbies" is his Flying Heritage Collection located at Paine Field in Everett. Most of the aircraft in his museum are restored to fully airworthy condition, as well as being restored to completely original condition. they look like the day they rolled off the assembly line, complete with vintage instruments, original engines, etc. every detail is authentic, down to the cotton insulation on some of the wiring... anyway, every summer, the planes get taken out for "exercise" flights, and the public is allowed to watch for free. i tell ya, there's nothing quite like the roar of those old engines as these birds fly by...  ;D
