The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the supplemental facility for the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. Here are displayed many of the aircraft the downtown musuem hasn’t room for — including a space shuttle, the Enola Gay and a Concorde (a gift from Air France). It’s a delight. And free, though parking is an unexplainable $12.
The shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space, was used as a flight test vehicle. Impressive all the same.
The B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first nuclear weapon nearly 60 years ago.
These aren’t models folks. They are actual aircraft arrayed as if in an acrobatic performance or dogfight.
