Washington DC

PB120101

Pictures from Washington DC (Click the photo above to see the whole set).

The main purpose of this trip was to waste some time before the travels in the Smithsonian Museums. These are free museums containing some of the worlds treasures and technical marvels - an amazing collection basically. Went to the Museum of Air and Space, Natural History and African Art in the National Mall area of downtown Washington DC, then the bigger Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Viriginia (right near Dulles Airport). This was my fav of course - the number of planes they have in there is amazing. Its a huge hangar with a bunch of planes, including the SR22 spyplane, a prototype Space Shuttle (used for drop tests), a Concorde, various warplanes from USA, Germany and Japan from various eras. A Boeing 707, stunt planes, etc etc. They even had a cute little Cessna 150 ....

For you flight nuts out there - enjoy .... :)
