I think I can see an aircraft factory from here!

I know, I know, too many Boeing entries, but this was just too good not to share. ISS astronaut Soichi Noguchi just sent tweeted a photo from space as it passed over Everett. Anyone else surprised that he had clear skies?

You can clearly see the factory, runway 16R/34L, Future of Flight and all of the associated office buildings and hangars around the factory. Talk about long distance airplane spotting. If you look closely, I think you can even see RC501 on the flight line. 

Now when does the ISS fly over Toulouse?
