Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum

The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center serves as a companion facility to the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall. Under the roof of its massive building is a vast space to display thousands of aviation and space artifacts. The museum's Boeing Aviation Hangar and the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar house an impressive collection, including the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Concorde (the world's first supersonic passenger jet), and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, notably the Enola Gay. Another highlight is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, along with a vast assortment of historical commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and rockets, providing a comprehensive look at the evolution of flight and space exploration. Beyond the static displays, the Udvar-Hazy Center features the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar.

With over 350 aerospace vehicles on display, it is nearly impossible to see all the aircraft in one visit. This page features a small sample of photos (a whopping 16 in total) taken at the museum, showcasing some of the aircraft exhibits that I found particularly interesting.
