One of the highlights of any visit to Washington D.C. is a
stop at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space museum.
It’s chock full of all sorts of interesting planes from a
variety of eras.
Most of them seem to be so small that you really have to wonder
what the people who flew in them must have been
thinking.
And they don’t seem to have been much protection against
bad weather.
Sometimes the painted backgrounds are as interesting as the
planes.
And there are some familiar names.
It really is a visual extravaganza.
Full of historic icons -- including of course, the best part
of any visit – the Apollo Lunar Module.
Those guys must have really been nuts. It looks like it’s made from tinker
toys and duct tape.
