Tukwila And Rainier 4
Tukwila And Rainier 4
Sarana International Buddhist Center (SIBC), In Tukwila, Washington. Its altar includes Buddha statues and paintings from Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Burma, and India. One of the resident monks, Venerable Pra Mahamuni Lim Sovann, and many of those who attend the large gatherings at the temple near Sea-Tac airport are Cambodian. But, the abbot, Bhante Polwatte Pagnananda hails from Sri Lanka. SIBC, which was established in 1998, is open to anyone who wants to learn about Buddhism or practice Buddhist meditation. Regular religious services are held every Sunday morning starting at 9 a.m. #LIFEATEXPEDIA
Restored cockpit of Boeing's first 727. Notice the third seat, for the flight engineer - a position which todays more automated planes no longer require. Back in the day, the flight engineer was responsible for much of the plane's mechanical operation, including engines, fuel, electronics, hydraulics, lights, HVAC and more. It was considered an entry level position before you could graduate to first officer or pilot.
You won't find ashtrays on too many flights these days! This 1980's era 727 interior was a hoot to check out. It's hard to imagine, but some 48,000 passengers sat in each of these seats. Well, not these particular seats - I wonder how long a typical airline seat lasts before it needs to be replaced?
