The Northrop N-1M, designed by Jack Northrup, on display at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center was much smaller than I thought it would be. Still neat to see.

So in our latest video, I gush a tad hard about seeing the Boeing Dash-80 in the flesh. Why? For me, this is the crux of Boeing's history, when the company was known for its military products (of which the B-47 had a lot to answer for)... 1/3

Moment captured: four scenes from the Udvar-Hazy Center: the cavernous hanger, my brother-in-law getting in the way of my shot, full frontal MiG, full frontal Space Shuttle Discovery.

The F-4 Phantom is the first airplane I remember remembering. Its iconic lines - the cowlings hugging the cockpit, the slightly bent wings, the exhausts tucked under the tail - made it a favorite of mine as a kid.

Loooong windows are loooong! Look at those cockpit windows on the Concorde! And check out the nose seam that allows the front to drop down while the jet is on the ground (otherwise pilots wouldn’t be able to see to taxi). What a marvelously unprofitable machine!

The mythical sr-71 leaky boi in all its titanium-skinned glory. The ‘speed check’ story over LA is a fun one to go read even if it’s not 100% verified.

A black and white photo of the Space shuttle discovery as it sits on the floor of the Udvar Hazy center, which is part of the Air And Space Museum of the Smithsonian.  The crowd is light and only shadows and silhouettes of people are visible.  The roof of the hangar arches high overhead with a static display of a satellite hanging above the shuttle with an American flag hanging vertically behind the shuttle's tail.

We went to Udvar-Hazy yesterday!
We saw so many awesome & historic planes, but my favorite was the Space Shuttle Discovery!

Fun Fact: did you know that after every mission, they had to take EVERY little panel off the discovery and inspect it individually?
