Transportation: November 2005 Archives
Ice crystals form on the window on an airplane.
I have a few more photos from my trip to Washington and then I promise I'll move on to something else! Here's the third and final "airplane shot" from the new hangar of the Air and Space Museum -- an Air France Concorde. I thought they should have put it on display with the nose down, in takeoff and landing configuration, but oh well.
Now that they have a hangar with enough room, the Air and Space Museum has finally put the Enola Gay back together and on display. This is the airplane that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. Now it sits, shiny as ever. Kinda boggles the mind.

This SR-71 greets you at the new hangar of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. The hangar was built at Dulles Airport to provide space for all the planes the museum didn't have room for at the main building on the Mall, and it is awesome. It houses the space shuttle Enterprise (built for approach and landing tests in the late 1970s), a Concorde, the Enola Gay, and this SR-71 along with a ton of other cool stuff.
