Renton Municipal Airport is where Boeing has its narrowbody manufacturing plant. If you've ever ridden on a 707, 727, 737, or 757, this is where it was born. About 85% of all the Boeing aircraft that leave here for the first time never come back as they are flown to BFI for outfitting and customer delivery. Some of the aircraft are painted at Renton and some are flown green to BFI. Some do return to Renton after their first flight which can lead to some good shots from the public viewing area located at an elevated position just northeast of the Rainer Ave and Airport Way intersection after noon.
