Spent a long weekend in Tyson's Corner, Va. two weeks ago for a family wedding and a few of us spent a day here. I didn't even know this place existed but I guess when you need to exhibit a space shuttle there isn't enough space anymore downtown at the Smithsonian. Place was awesome!!! Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Nice views! I'm a bit embarrassed to have lived in DC while this museum was being built but never made it out there before moving away ...

I know the feeling. I think I was like 30 years old before I got to the Statue of Liberty and I was born a few miles east of there!

Thanks for looking. Much appreciated.

Very nice photos. The P-40 reminded me that my dad, had told me, he met MJR. Bong of the " Flying Tigers" in "New Guinea" while on a P-38 base there.

Thanks for looking Marion. I enjoyed this more than the Smithsonian A&S Museum but to be fair there's no space shuttle there so the cool factor was off the chart here. Appreciate the comments.

Nice shots of the shuttle. I'm glad they left it in the used condition.
I'll have to add this to my travel list.
