Program
For the first time ever, our Grounded Hogs event will be held in the T. A. Wilson (former Boeing CEO and Chairman of the Board) Great Gallery at the Museum of Flight. This is a 3 million-cubic-foot, six-story, glass-and-steel exhibit hall currently containing 39 full-size historic aircraft, including the nine-ton Douglas DC-3 hang from the space-frame ceiling in flight attitude. Dramatically lit at night, the Gallery is a stunning architectural achievement full of aircraft that trace the history of the first century of flight!
