is a highly detailed scenery of Boeing Field, officially King County
International Airport in Seattle, WA, USA. This product is compatible with Microsoft Flight
Simulator.
King County International Airport, commonly known as Boeing Field (IATA:
BFI, ICAO: KBFI, FAA LID: BFI), is a public-use airport situated
just south of Seattle's central business district. Established in
1928, it's one of the oldest operating airfields in the United
States and was Seattle's primary airport until the opening of
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 1944. Boeing Field spans an
area of 634 acres (257 ha) and is positioned at an elevation of 21
feet (6 m). The airport features two asphalt runways: 14R/32L, which
is 10,007 by 200 feet (3,050 x 61 m), and 14L/32R, measuring 3,709
by 100 feet (1,131 x 30 m).
Boeing Field has played a crucial role in the Boeing Company's
history. In the 1960s, the initial assembly of the Boeing 737
aircraft took place at Boeing Field because the Renton factory was
at capacity with the production of the Boeing 707 and 727 models.
After completing 271 aircraft, the production was moved to Renton in
late 1970. The airport also features facilities for final
preparations and delivery of Boeing 737 aircraft after their first
test flights, including a paint hangar and flight test facilities.
Boeing Field features two primary runways: 14R/32L and 14L/32R.
These runways cater to a diverse range of aircraft, from light
single-engine planes to large commercial jets. The airfield is
equipped with a modern control tower, multiple hangars, a terminal
building, and extensive maintenance facilities. It serves a variety
of aviation needs, including commercial, cargo, military, and
general aviation.
One of the airport's key attractions is the Museum of Flight, which
is a remarkable institution dedicated to the history and science of
aviation and space flight. Established in 1965, it has grown into
one of the largest and most significant air and space museums in the
world. This museum offers a rich exploration of human flight, from
the earliest dreams of soaring in the sky to the complex realities
of modern space exploration. The museum's collection boasts over 150
aircraft and spacecraft, along with thousands of artifacts,
photographs, and documents. One of the highlights of the collection
is the original Boeing 747 prototype, which revolutionized
long-distance air travel. Also on display is an ex-British Airways
Concorde, one of the few places in the world where visitors can
experience this icon of supersonic travel. Beyond these headliners,
the museum's exhibits span a wide range of aviation history. These
include World War I and II fighter planes, early commercial
airliners, and a growing array of space exploration vehicles. The
personal stories of pilots, engineers, and passengers bring these
artifacts to life, offering insights into the human side of air and
space travel.
Boeing's presence at the airport is marked by the Boeing Delivery
Center , primarily focused on the final stages of aircraft delivery
for Boeing’s commercial airplanes. Located near Seattle, Washington,
this facility is where Boeing completes the handover of its newly
manufactured aircraft to customers. The main activities at the
Delivery Center involve final preparations of aircraft after they
leave Boeing's manufacturing sites. This includes conducting final
inspections, implementing customer-specific customizations, and,
occasionally, performing additional flight tests. Customers,
typically airlines or private buyers, visit the Delivery Center to
inspect their new aircraft before taking delivery. This inspection
is a crucial part of the aircraft purchase process, ensuring that
the specifications and quality meet the purchaser's requirements.
The facility is equipped to handle various Boeing models and is
designed to cater to the needs of different customers. The Boeing
Delivery Center plays a significant role in Boeing's supply chain,
marking the final step in the aircraft manufacturing process before
airplanes enter service. It is an essential part of Boeing's overall
operation, facilitating the transition of aircraft from
manufacturing to active use by airlines and other operators around
the world.
Boeing Field also serves as a key testing and delivery site for
Boeing aircraft. New models and variants undergo rigorous flight
testing procedures at the airport, taking advantage of its
facilities and airspace. The airport's strategic location and
infrastructure make it ideal for these critical phases of aircraft
development and delivery.
