Everett is best known as the home of Boeing widebodies, but is also home to the reserve collection and the restoration centre for the Museum of Flight, whose main museum is at Boeing Field a few miles away.
My visit there in 2002 coincided with this Grumman Wildcat setting off for an airshow at Arlington.
Then registered N49JC, and marked up as US Marines example serial 86690, as at 2020 this was being restored at Duxford, Cambridgeshire, and previous to that spent a while as a static exhibit at Old Warden, Bedfordshire.

Comfortably tucked under the protective wing of the mammoth Spruce Goose, the Grumman G-21 Goose is an amphibious aircraft designed by Grumman to serve as an eight-seat "commuter" aircraft for businessmen in the Long Island area. The Goose was Grumman’s first monoplane to fly, its first twin-engined aircraft, and its first aircraft to enter commercial airline service. During World War II, the Goose became an effective transport for the US military (including the United States Coast Guard), as well as serving with many other air forces. During hostilities, the Goose took on an increasing number of combat and training roles.
The Grumman US-2N Tracker 159. That made it in to the Aviadrome Aviation museum on Lelystad airport. Where she can be admired almost every day.

De Havilland Canada DHC-8-102 Dash 8 (cn 377) Although I've photographed this aircraft many times, it's the first time I've seen it with this device suspended below the fuselage.
Probably the last user of the Hellcat was the Uruguyan Servicio Aeronautica de la Marina, which kept its last F6F-5s in front line service until 1961. The Dash-5 had spring-tab ailerons, more armour, improved cowling and, like some -3s, no windows behind the canopy. This one gets 6 rockets and a dropable belly tank.
About this build :
I wanted an original scheme, not an all dark blue WWII Hellcat so I found out this one with a white belly. The landing gear is fixed but propeller and wheels roll perfectly. The structure is very sturdy.
