That said, I vastly prefer Udvar-Hazy. It is an airplane lovers

Just so! The Mall museum is pitched really to the general public,
Udvar-Hazy to the aviation / history nuts.

I will not soon forget the knot of Japanese businessmen staring
without expression at the (Japanese) flying suicide bomb. Or, for that
