For a hard-core aviation nut, no question that the Udvar Hazy annex is
the place to be.

I agree - at least as far as "big" goes. Most important "firsts" are
still downtown, though, and I don't know of any plans to bring SpaceShip1
or Voyager to Udvar-Hazy. Nonetheless, to get within a couple feet of the
Blackbird, Enterprise, Concorde and Enola Gay is impressive at U-H.


Speaking of Space Ship 1 does anybody know how the exhaust cone got
crunched? It is very obvious with it hanging up so high.



I dunno, but I suspect we can find out. It was sitting out at Hazy
completely wrapped in a blue tarp for a while (although the shape was
rather distictive so you knew what it was). I'll have to ask around.
