A Visit to the Udvar Hazy Air & Space Museum

I went on a field trip to the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport yesterday. The main purpose was to expose my grandson, Kieran, to the wonders of human flight. It turned out better than I expected. They have a truly impressive collection of equipment, from the origins of flight on bicycles with wings to the landing on the moon. It is kind of amazing that the time distance from one to the other was about 60 years.

In any event, here’s a gallery of pictures from the visit.

The most travelled space shuttle really shows its wear and tear
John Glenn’s Capsule. Truly a “man in a can.”
