Seattle is filled with aviation history! Did you know that five years before Bill Boeing built his first plane, a Japanese immigrant name Takayuki Takasow constructed and flew an aircraft in Seattle out of bamboo? Historian Tim Nelson, author of the book ‘Jet City Rewind’ took our Senior Curator Matthew Burchette for a whirlwind tour of some of the historic sites within just a few miles of The Museum of Flight.
