I joined the Aviation Geek Fest 2015 in Washington State. In Everett, Boeing Field and Renton, we say a lot of amazing aviation specific things: VIP Tours, Simulators, Boeing Factory, Museums, and more.

During the process, we saw the Everett Factory where Boeing makes the 777, 787, 747, and 767. We also visited the Future of Flight Museum, next door to the Everett Factory. A talk from a Boeing Test Pilot, a great dinner with other avgeeks, and amazing giveaways.

On the second day, we saw the Renton Factory, where the 737 goes through final assembly. Additionally, we saw an area where airlines pick their interiors in life-size mockups of aircraft.

If that wasn’t enough, I was able to visit the Alaska Airlines Flight Training Center with Mike Swanigan (AviatorCast 17). What an amazing experience that was! Talk about a cool look into the history of airliner simulation.

All these experiences I share in more detail during this podcast.

Can you spot my wife and I in these pictures?
