We have visited the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum many times over the years and still find something new to see. We were not aware that the “Annex”, as this place is known, was even a thing. This place was so fascinating that we chose to come back the next day to finish up our viewing. We did our first virtual reality experience on day one as well as watching two movies at their IMAX called “Secrets of the Universe” and “Apollo 11”. We also took a docent guided tour for a few hours of extra information and stories. The docent was a former physicist that helped out with the shuttle program.
Below are some of the many photos of COOL planes we snapped:
If you are ever near our nation’s capital make sure and visit the Annex. It is free but you do need to pay the $15 airport parking fee.
Imagine the math involved with dropping a film cannister from a moving plane, flying on a spinning ball hurtling through space, to another moving plane flying in a different direction on that same spinning ball. That is crazy.
Ain’t math grand?!!! I thought I was the only one who thought stuff like that.
Very interesting! I would love to have an ultralight!
Me too. In a way, I do as that is Laurie’s trail name:)
