点评:Boeing Future of Flight is located 25-miles north of downtown Seattle in the Paine Field Aviation District in Everett. It is officially a Boeing Production facility offering a Factory tour. The tour takes us to the production floor, tour leader explained the whole process of manufacturing of the airplane here from scrap to finish. How they take care of special needs of different airlines including seats & paint colours etc. It is an interactive tour where person related to industry can ask their queries. For us, it was a unique opportunity to explore the largest manufacturing facility in the world. The views from the observation Sky Desk overlooking the Paine Field was amazing. Train Yard, Assembly Plant, Paint Hangers, Delivery Centre, Air Traffic Control Tower, Mount Rainier & Mount baker are visible for Sky Desk.
The other highlight was the Gallery where several products and parts were displayed. The Destiny Laboratory Module, Wisk Air Taxis, The International Space Station and The Boeing Adventure are different section to look into. We did fly a airplane on Flight Simulation machines offering three aircrafts.
Finally, we were in Boeing Store offering aerospace inspired gifts and souvenirs. The whole experience tales around 2-3 hours and is a must do for all. Kindly note the Boeing Future of Flight is not The Museum of Flight, which is different activity at different place in Seattle.

最后,我们前往波音商店,选购了众多受航空航天主题启发的礼品与纪念品。整个体验过程大约需要2到3小时,绝对值得所有人参与。请注意,“波音未来飞行体验中心”并非“飞行博物馆”;后者是位于西雅图另一处的独立景点。
