In fairness to NASM, that's pretty much what they do with all their
aircraft. And it's probably more true at Udvar-Hazy than at the big
museum on the Mall. That's what I appreciated most about the new
annex: there's no Walt Disney "interpretation". If the kids aren't
happy looking at airplanes, they can go to the Imax.

Man, Udvar-Hazy is sounding better all the time.

The "Disney-treatment" of aircraft "artifacts" is what turned me off at the
big museum on the Mall, and made me long for the Air Force Museum in Dayton.
It almost seemed like the aircraft were an after-thought.

Just the planes, ma'am, just the planes -- that's all I want. And it
sounds like Udvar-Hazy delivers.

Next year, for sure!
