Smithsonian Museums, National Mall, Washington DC (August, 2004)

 
Probably the most popular of the Smithsonian museums is the National Air & Space Museum.  This one is geared more toward kids than any of the other museums and is sure to entertain someone of any age.  (However, I was a bit disappointed on my first return visit since I was 12 and only a few years away from being wrapped up in the Challenger disaster.  It is very geared toward kids.)

Nonetheless the museum is expansive and has a number of very significant aeronautical artifacts.  This is on of the Apollo testing prototypes.
