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.

SR 71 with the Space Shuttle Discovery framed by two classic WWII fighters.
This code to an #SR71 thrilling and chilling for this was a plane of American spycraft and might.
#WASP #WomensAirCorps uniform. My daughter did a focused project on them.
Love their logo #Wasp
Two sundays ago, i had the chance to visit the #Smithsonian's #UdvarHazy museum and what an incredible visit. To see the #SR71 & the #Discovery, was breath taking truly. As a USAF very who's first college class was the USAF aviation history class, this was incredible. #concorde #EnolaGay incredible
Patches from the 'life' side of my jacket..Aim High #USAF. Plus places visited.
A twin of the 1988 record setting self propelled glider and plane. Very cool!
No #onehourreads today... exploring the #UdvarHazy center later this am and off to find breakfast. Oh and visit a battlefield. Cause it's history week!

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.

F-4 Phantom at Udvar Hazy Museum
F-4 Phantom at Udvar Hazy Museum
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.
Have a picture of the space shuttle

I came across this photo I took a few years ago at #UdvarHazy An awesome idea popped into my head! The #Concorde wrapped nicely with a bow under my Christmas Tree this year! #smithsonian #AirAndSpaceMuseum #airfrance #F-BVFA
I wonder what it was like to be looking out these windows to the stars….then the RCS burn is executed. 😳😁 #discovery #spaceshuttle #nasa #udvarhazy Pro Tip: Go visit Discovery to see her up close!!!
A workhorse retired too young. Yes shuttles were expensive. Yes there was risk. Yes….i miss shuttle launches….and landings. #nasa #space #humanspaceflight #spaceshuttle #Discovery #UdvarHazy #Smithsonian #tminus31secondsAutoSequnceStart #Tminus6secondsMainEngineStart
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?
