It's at the Seattle Museum of Flight, which would mean the picture is from BFI.

This shot was taken at KBFI on July 7, 2007. 7/7/07. This was the day before the rollout of the 787. The event was the parade of Boeings. They flew each airplane in order from 707 - 777 from KPAE did a low pass at KBFI and landed, then they all parked in order next to the Museum of Flight for the pre-rollout festivities. You can buy a poster of this picture from the Boeing store.There are 2 NG's in the picture. The first and most obvious is the Alaska Airlines 737-800 in the parade. The second less obvious one is the Austrailian Wedgetail parked on the Boeing Military ramp in the background.The 747-200 in the parade is Rolls Royce's test bed airplane. The reason it was used in the parade was because at the time it had the Trent 1000 engine in the No. 2 position for flight testing. Since this was the launch engine on the 787 it was fitting that it was in the parade. The 707-300 in the picture belongs to Omni Air Tankers. They provide contract mid-air refueling services to the US Navy with two 707's and a DC-10 for peace time missions. One of their 707's crashed on takeoff earlier this year at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station in California. It could be the one in this picture but I can't make out the N number.Hiram Hunt

It was captured back in the 90s during the 1st War on Airbus or maybe the 2nd War on Airbus. Details are a little fuzzy.

That sure is one funny perspective. The Alaska 73 in the lineup looks nearly as big as the Dreamlifter, and the concord looks smaller than the 717. I guess it is due to the angle of the shot?
