Visited the three Boeing sites in Seattle early in November. While I had nice weather at Paine Field, it got progressively worse at Renton and Boeing Field, including torrential rain at the latter. Herewith the photos, with apologies that weather conditions meant the ones at the end are more 'record shots'.
