This is one item I was thrilled to strike off my 'obscure stats' bucket list this year, and the museum itself was a great time as well

This is...Certainly the last place I'd expect there to be a cache! Also never knew Seattle had a museum of flight!

Haven't been yet, but being right next to Boeing's main plant, you better believe it looks cool.

Hell, it's so big you can see the museum as your plane comes in for a landing at SeaTac.

A geocache and a museum, sounds like a win win situation

There was a cache near me which was hidden in a tea house. You had to go up to the cashier and ask for the cache. Thought that was pretty cool.

There is a flight simulator in the museum that moves as you fly. Pro tip: You don't have to follow the flight plan in the simulator. My buddy did barrel rolls and loops until the time ran out. Everyone after him in line did the same thing.

I'm not sure if they let you do that anymore. He has a history of having signs/rules made in places after he does something they don't specifically have rules against.
