The Udvar-Hazy Center
2003 December 15
In other news, “the Udvar-Hazy center”:http://www.nasm.si.edu/museum/udvarhazy/ — expansion to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum — opens today in Chantilly, Virginia. The Mall museum may have the Wright Flyer, an Apollo Lunar Module, and the actual Star Trek Enterprise prop. But the Udvar-Hazy center has the Enola Gay, an SR-71, and the _actual_ Enterprise space shuttle. I’m very eager to see it.
My wife, on the other hand, has already been-there-done-that. Last week she was treated to a behind-the-scenes tour just prior to opening. “She brought back photos, too”:http://www.thudfactor.com/gallery/udvar.
I am very envious.
