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

[ClayO]

NASM's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA is reopening on May 5th. That's the enormous hangar where the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Enola Gay, a Concorde, and other historic airplanes are on display. It's kind of hilarious that these are all called 'objects' on the website, which I suppose they are, from a museum curator's point of view.

I found out about this by following the links from this article on the Smithsonian website about the Nazi jet-powered flying wing Ho-229, which is on display there.

Yeah, was there a couple of years ago when I still regularly visited the US. Great museum.

I'd say it's highly recommended even if you have been there before! Next to USAF in Dayton and USB in Pensacola, it's about as good as it gets.
