While in Seattle, I stopped at Renton Municipal Airport a couple of times. Boeing 737s are constructed at RNT, after which they are flown to Boeing Field (BFI) for paint and final preparations prior to delivery. RNT is also the birthplace of the KC-135 and 707. It's located on the south end of Lake Washington, and is also home to a large population of seaplanes, many of which are old De Havilland Beavers.
This Beaver was built in 1957.
