You step out of a private vehicle as the ferry-slick air from Puget Sound brushes your face and the low hum of jets inside the hangar makes itself known. The drive north from downtown Seattle climbs past saltmarsh and suburban edges; by the time you reach Paine Field the industrial scale of the place arrives before you do.
