To say the place is awesome is an understatement.

When I went a few years ago, they had Spaceship One under wraps for an unveiling.

Sweet Jebus, they have a stunningly-beautiful P-61, which immediately caught my eye in your pics. That's a rare bird. I had no idea it was on display. There's one under restoration about an hour north of me.

Anyway, great pics. I bookmarked the link and fully intend to peruse the photos in detail.

Oh, I was there. It's probably the best space museum ever.
Lì ci sono chiese, macerie, moschee e questure, lì frontiere, prezzi inaccessibile e freddure
Lì paludi, minacce, cecchini coi fucili, documenti, file notturne e clandestini
Qui incontri, lotte, passi sincronizzati, colori, capannelli non autorizzati,
Uccelli migratori, reti, informazioni, piazze di Tutti i like pazze di passioni...

...La tranquillità è importante ma la libertà è tutto!

Yeah, I was there last April before I headed back to Michigan for graduation.

It was awesome. :D Should I post my own pics?

It's an awesome museum. I'm lucky to live so close to it.

(I already have tickets to see TDK in the IMAX there.) :P

I can't seem to inline it, but I like IMG_7136 - first photo in the linked set - for the colors. It's too bad you lost the bottom of the radiator, though.

Udvar-Hazy was the one place I desperately wanted to see but never managed to while I was in DC.

National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.

On the pics, my fave is that shot of the Enola Gay.
