Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center | National Air and Space Museum

On a recent road trip with the family, we stopped at what is now my favorite museum ever. The National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Virginia. Here are some photos from the trip for you to enjoy.

This place is HUGE.

Yep, that's a Concord:

Virgin Atlantic's GlobalFlyer:

All kinds of old war planes as well.

This one was particularly interesting:

Interesting story about this one. Check out Simon Sinek's How Great Leaders Inspire Action Ted Talk to hear about why Samuel Pierpont Langley may have quit once the Wright Brothers did their thing. This was Langley's plane:

Speaking of the Wright Brothers:

How bad ass is that?

Yep. The one that dropped the bomb.

It's cool to see the workspace where they are still restoring planes:

The shuttle and space stuff. :)

I remember watching this Red Bull event:

And my favorite, the SR71 Blackbird:

Get in the chopper!

Engines have come a long way.

Do you remember that old TV show Baa Baa Black Sheep?

More machines of war.

And the guns they old ones used:

A few more to finish it out:

Wow, that's a lot of photos! I hope you enjoyed them!
