"WARNING: STAND CLEAR OF HAZARD AREAS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING". The port wing Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7 engine on the museum's Boeing 737-130 Prototype.
The 737 is the smallest and most popular jetliner in the Boeing airline family. Since 1967, over 8,000 "Baby Boeings" have been built or ordered. The short-haul 737 is dependable, economical and can operate from unprepared grass and gravel runways -- making it a popular choice of many airlines throughout the world.
The Museum's aircraft is the first production 737. The prototype made its first flight with Brien Wygle and Lew Wallick at the controls on April 9, 1967. Boeing used the 737 as a flight test aircraft before it became NASA's Transport Systems Research Vehicle in 1974. Based at the Langley Research Center in Virginia, the 737 was used to test many technological innovations including a virtual cockpit, electronic flight displays, and airborne wind shear detection systems.
NASA Pilot
"The 737 was a wonderful plane," says NASA research pilot Lee Person. "It could do things that other airplanes simply couldn't." High praise from the former Marine fighter pilot who's flown over 130 aircraft in his 41-year career, including the Hawker XV-6A Kestrel (forerunner to the Harrier jet fighter). From 1974 to 1995, Person and fellow pilot Dick Yenni flew the 737 prototype in more than 20 different aerial research projects for NASA.
This aircraft is on loan to the Museum of Flight from NASA, Langley Research Center.

Ein Windschutzzaun (englisch: blast deflector fence) ist ein Bauwerk auf Flugplätzen, das dazu dient Personen, Fahrzeuge und Gegenstände vor schädlichen Wirkungen des Luftstrahls von Düsentriebluftfahrzeugen (englisch: Jet Blast) oder von Propellertriebwerken (englisch: Prop Wash) zu schützen. Außerdem dienen sie dazu, Schäden am Luftfahrzeug zu verhindern, die durch die Rückzirkulation des Luftstrahls entstehen könnten.

It's unfortunate that humans are inherently stupid and don't know enough to NOT STAND BEHIND JETS. (Oh wait... we did that...)
These kind of images, these red skies, these orange skies, these beautiful images are only possible for a few days a year. I was luckie :)

The newest design in jetblast shelters on Maho Beach. They sure are a lot cheaper than the ones you see at most airports.

A bit blurry for a reason... this huge 777-200, only seconds from touch down, flew past me so fast and so low and with so much noise and jetblast I barely had time to stay steady and snap the photo... what a site live!!!
Ferrari 458 Italia Themed after F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Jet Fighter
At a first glance, it appears that there's nothing really special about this 458 Italia other than it's a new Ferrari and that it's covered in dark grey vinyl wrap. However,
take a closer look and things start to get interesting...
This Italian supercar was themed after the notorious F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft with the matte gray vinyl wrap incorporating a rivet-style design. Other
notable features include the rivet graphics on the window and windshield frames as well as numerous other aircraft-inspired labels such as the "Heater Exhaust", "Beware of Jetblast" and "Pull to Open" [door-handle] signs.
