Spaceships and Planes!

The Air and Space Museum is the favorite of the Smithsonian museums. It seems that any flying item of significance is on display. Spirit of St Louis, Chuck Yeager’s X1, John Glenn’s Friendship 7 and the Wright Brothers original Flyer. The Apollo 11 command module is normally on display but not during our visit. We spent over half of our day admiring all the displays before driving out to the Udvar-Hazy annex by Dulles Airport. The annex has even more flying machines like the space shuttle Discovery, the Enola Gay,and the Dash-80. We stayed till they booted us out at 5:30.

  1. Wow! This entire trip takes me down my childhood memory lane. Other than the Spam museum, I've been to all of your destinations...so great! I agree that Chicago's Sci museum is the best!
