The Museum of Flight will be reopening after being closed due to COVID restrictions. The reopening date is March 4th, just one week from tomorrow. A couple of the exhibit areas will remain closed because of spacing restrictions and the B727 exhibit will not be open for people to walk thru, but the museum is definitely one location that anyone interested in aviation should visit.
