Good to see they still have this. I'm rather surprised that the govt let them keep it.


Udvar-Hazy Center is really difficult to shoot good pictures. Really need a tripod in there.

I don't know why they made the hangar so dark.



Oh, The pictures starting with the Macchi through McDonalds is at the National Mall. All pictures from the F4U Corsair down are at the Udvar Hazy Hanger. (which is located directly behind Washington-Dulles International Airport.) The hanger is really cool, the reason the so blurry is because i was so exitied (shaking a little.) They are getting some new planes. I saw a poster and it showed they are adding a B-17, B-25, and a A-20.

Defenitly a place you must come see. The udvar hazy complex even has a control tower u can go in and watch planes landing at Dulles and you can hear the ATC talking and there is even a radar so you can see the planes!

Yup, it's only 4 hours away, must go.  You can also head down to the National Museum of the Marine Corps, they have a few birds in there as well, and it's the best museum there is anyway.  Oohrah.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
