Here's an idea that will fly: Vintage warplanes from five countries on display in a custom-built hangar at Paine Field in Everett, Wash. Dubbed the Flying Heritage Collection, the planes, most from World War II, are owned by billionaire Paul G. Allen, Microsoft co-founder. And yes, they actually work. Starting June 14, several will take off on "fly days" every other Saturday through Oct. 11. Watching the flights will be free. Getting into the museum, which houses 15 planes, video interviews with their pilots and interpretive displays, costs $12 per adult. (877) 342-3404, www.flyingheritage.com.
