Paine Field, Washington

Paine Field is the Snohomish County Airport, and is surrounded by major aviation companies' production and test operations, especially those of Boeing's Everett production plant located at the north end, where 747's (among other wide-body aircraft) are made. Another tenant is Aviation Technical Services (ATS), one of the largest third-party providers of commercial aircraft maintenance and repair in North America. Currently Paine Field is also home to a number of flight schools. The Museum of Flight, located in Seattle, has its restoration center on the east side of the airport.
