PRESS RELEASE On Sept. 26-29, the Museum of Flight will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first successful global flight with special aircraft fly-ins and programs, plus tours and rides in one of only two flyable B-29s, FIFI. The famous flight began and ended in Seattle, so the Museum is partnering with the local First World Flight Centennial and Friends of Magnuson Park. Over a dozen aircraft representing decades of around-the-world record flights will be flown to the Museum and be on view in the parking lot. The adventurous pilots of these planes will be on hand to meet Museum visitors, plus there will be global flight lectures and films. A full schedule is online, and events are free with admission to the Museum.
