On Feb. 9, 1963 Boeing's E-001 departed Renton Muni (KRNT) on it's first test flight which ended @ Everett's KPAE. E-001 went from N 72700 to N 7001U as it then spent the next 27 years on UNITEDS routes, it's last landing came @ KPAE when it was donated to Seattles MoF as ' The Spirit of Seattle' repainted by UAL back into it's original 1965 paint scheme.

Oh man, between this and another thread I thought the whole of WIX was going all out to appreciate me.
