The Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport was a real find on our recent East Coast trip. While the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian is wonderful, this annex has the aircraft we've always dreamed of seeing. Among them, the Enola Gay, from which the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the Wright Bros. plane, the Concorde and many more. There is a terrific exhibit of the space shuttle, which allows visitors to walk underneath and around this massive aircraft. The display of spy planes is also impressive. The SR 71 Blackhawk lurks just inside the entrance to the facility and is very impressive in its size and creepiness.
