Some things from the Air & Space/Udvar-Hazy Center (PICS!)

One of the great things about living where I do is the close proximity to some great museums!

School starts this coming Wednesday so I took the day off and took my son to the Udvar-Hazy Center. It is the annex @ Dulles International to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

I shot some pictures…thought I would share a few…

For all you Luftwaffe fans…

The “Uhu”


Three views of the Jumo Jet engine…


Now this is a Bare Metal Finish !

I have some more and will post them later…some MiG21 shots as well as some shots of the first Flying Wing Prototype…

Hope you all enjoy…

I went to that mudeum, rocked something sweet. Now they just need to get to work restoring that wonderful HO-229 they have had mothballed

That is the shinniest plane ive ever seen . Must be great being that close to so many museums , Thanks for the pics .

Flying Wing Stuff


some serious nose art…

NMF!!! That things almost achrome finish! The closest I ever got to going to the Smithsonian was being stationed at Langley AFB for three months. Not long enough to take time off to drive up there. Someday I will go. I have to!

I would hate to be the person that keeps that T-33 polished. Great pictures. I see a lot more has been added since my visit there over thirty years ago.

Great pics Joe. Thanks for posting.

Regards, Rick

Awesome! You lucky . . . guy!

I love the N-9 PIC YOU GOT THERE!
