Air and Space Museum v.2
The Smithsonian Institute recently opened a brand new museum dedicated to aviation. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, located about 30 miles from Dulles Airport in Washington D.C., features various airplanes, esp. those that change the aviation history.

Once inside, visitors can see The Enterprise, the only space shuttle that never flew, the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the first Atomic Bomb, and a SR-71, one of the most fastest planes in the world. The Air and Space Museum will still be open to the public. The Wright Brothers' plane and the Spirit of Saint Louis will remain in the museum while many of the Smithsonian aviation collection will be moved to the Udvar-Hazy Center.
Looks like it is time to visit D.C. again :-)
