Stephen F Udvar-Hazy center

From Heather:

I had a long overnight in Washington, DC and toured the Stephen F Udvar-Hazy center, which is a part of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. It is giant hanger like facility that had many historical aircraft and spacecraft. Walking in you are faced looking at the nose of a blackbird SR – 71, which is in my opinion is one of the coolest looking airplanes out there. I was fascinated to see the Enola Gay, a B-29 Superfortress. It was eerie to think about it being the plane that dropped the first atomic weapon on Hiroshima. The other fascinating exhibit was John Glenn’s Mercury capsule, Friendship 7. Simply amazing to see how small it was.

 If anyone ever heads out  East, I would definitely make this museum a definite must see.
