Giving Back Through The Museum of Flight, Seattle
Restoring Aviation Legends, One Detail at a Time
Community means everything to us. As a locally owned auto detailing company rooted in Seattle, we take pride in giving back to the places that inspire us most. One of our favorite ways to contribute is by volunteering at The Museum of Flight – a Seattle landmark dedicated to innovation, learning, and history.
Preserving Icons of Flight
As volunteers, we’ve had the honor of working on legendary aircraft that represent milestones in aviation history
The Original Air Force One
The first presidential jet plane, a specially built Boeing 707-153, is known as SAM (Special Air Mission) 970. This aircraft, as well as any other Air Force aircraft, carried the call sign “Air Force One” when the president was aboard. Delivered in 1959 to replace President Eisenhower’s Super-Constellation, the high-speed jet transport was a flying Oval Office with a modified interior and sophisticated communication equipment. Eisenhower became the first U.S. president to fly by jet on SAM 970 on August 26, 1959.

B-29 Superfortress
A piece of WWII history preserved for future generations. The B-29 Superfortress was the most capable bomber of World War II. It could carry more payload and fly faster and at higher altitudes than contemporary types such as the Boeing B-17, Consolidated B-24, or Avro Lancaster. Its performance enabled long-range systematic bombing of Japan in 1944 and 1945. Two modified B-29s dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August 1945, helping end the war in the Pacific.
