Paine Field
Paine Field, also known as Snohomish County Airport (IATA:PAE, ICAO:KPAE) is located in Everett, Washington. Constructed in 1936, the field became an Army Air Force airbase for the duration of World War II before being handed back to the county. It is home to the main Boeing plant – the largest building in the world – as well as the nation's largest aviation maintenance facility, operated by Goodrich. It is served by a control tower, and has precision and non-precision instrument approaches available to pilots.
Paine Field also is home to 3 flight schools Regal Air, Northway Aviation, and Northwest School of Aviation, making it a popular destination for flight training.
In 2005, construction started on the Future of Flight Museum, formerly known as the National Flight Interpretive Center (NFIC). The Museum of Flight also has a restoration center based on the field.
