More of an "airplane nut" place...planes basically just parked, no dioramas or superfluous stuff. More emphasis on lesser-known aircraft. They've also got some of Patty Wagstaff's stuff....

Udvar-Hazy Center on the south end of IAD (Dulles airport). Check out the event schedule for the June 17th "Reach for the Sky: Become a Pilot" family day and aviation display.
