DizRotus Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 While in DC for our son's graduation (mentioned in other threads) we went to the Smithsonian annex at Dulles airport. The Air and Space Museum on the mall has always been a favorite of mine. The newer museum space at Dulles airport is well worth the short travel from central DC. The admission is free. The parking is $15, so pack the car and visit the museum. The Discovery just arrived a few weeks earlier. To see it up close is amazing. In some ways it looks like a movie prop, but the reality of its appearance and history make it truly awsome. The huge hangar space also contains a Concorde, a Lockheed Constellation and other large exhibits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkinney Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This is what it looked like the last time I saw it. It's cool that it's on display now in DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I had some pretty big speakers in that museum, which is but 10 minutes from my house. They made me mover the me out to make room for the shuttle, so they are back in my basement. So should you visit that museum you can also visit Thebes. Great pics JT.
