NASM Udvar-Hazy Center

Unlike the NASM on the Mall, this has
very little 'writing', it is a pure display of aircraft. Of course
each one has a little blurb to identify and give some background.

Yes, Margy tells me explicitly 150 words or less on each placard.
It's not in place yet, but there will be "kiosks" with more information on
the plane for us junkies that are dying to know. Another point of information
is to ask one of the docents. These are volunteers who were required to
go through 6 months of 4 hour training sessions on Saturday morning boning
up on the details of the artifacts.

By the way, if these the museum just held the B-36, a Vega, etc.. it would
be impressive enough. But not only do they have instances of these aircraft
they have the specific famous ones: The Enola Gay, The Winnie Mae, etc..

There's still a ton of stuff (mostly the smaller planes) still in transit from the
Garber Facility...that and they haven't finished the space hangar part yet.
As impressive as it is now, plan to return in the future and see more stuff!

(By the insistence of Margy and Rutan, the LongEZ should be now properly
resting on the hockey puck.)
