I live near Seattle, too (Redmond).
So far, I've met in person Roscoroo and Newman. So Silat and Jinx live near Seattle.
OOZ662 and Bear76, you guys do as well? What cities?
The Museum of Flight in Seattle is pretty good -- especially the Personal Courage Wing, which has several WWII fighters in it (Bf 109E, Spit IX, P-40N, Ki 43-IIb, P-38L, F4F-3, FG-1D, P-47D, Yak-9U, P-51D).
4th of July weekend (actually 6/30/2006 to 7/5/2006), the Museum of Flight has the Collings Foundation B-17 and B-24 available for looking around inside, and you can buy flights on them for $425 per 30-minute ride.
