You can also get a shuttle bus to the Air & Space annex: the Udvar-Hazy Center located on the grounds of Dulles Airport. Within this complex of huge airplane hangars are scores of historic aircraft from around the world, along with US spacecraft. | ||||

One must remember when visiting that none of these things are replicas - these are the ACTUAL crafts that made history - the Wright Brothers airplane (the first plane to ever fly), The Spirit Of St. Louis (Charles Lindbergh's plane), Glamorous Glynnis (Bell X-1 - the first plane to break the sound barrier), and even a space capsule that has been into space.
These are things we speak of in legendary terms...and to see them in person is an overwhelming experience. It leaves a person speechless!! | ||||

Pictures added by my username were taken by me 3/2008. The picture with the Air France Concorde was deleted. It was a photo of the museum at Dulles airport not here. | ||||
