I've never made the trek out to WPAFB - will try to do it soon. I well remember going to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum as a teenager in the 60's when it was ensconced in a Quonset Hut adjacent to the Arts and Industries Museum. They had a Jupiter Missile, a Nike, and I can't remember what else outside the building. IIRC, they had a Mercury Capsule inside. Otherwise, not that much inside - although they did have an ME-262. Have been back to the new ASM on the Mall - never to the location near Dulles.



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum out at Dulles airport (40 miles outside DC) is also excellent. Far better than what I remember to be at the location in downtown DC.

At the Dulles location they have the Enola Gay and a number of WWI and WWII planes of significant historical value. Definitely worth the trip. It is free but parking will cost you $15 a car.

Again though, if I could only go to one, I’d choose Wright-Pat.
