    Made a slight detour on my snowbird commute south earlier this week and spent 3 hrs here walking around staring at the ceiling with my mouth open.
    Absolutely overwhelming collection of significant aircraft. Entirely too much to digest in one visit. Artifacts, too. Lindbergs 30-06? Astronauts helmets + gloves? Yup.
    Not gonna mess up the Mayor's "Cool airplane photo thread" so here, in no particular order, is what caught my eye.

    The cool thing about UH is how many of the aircraft have history rather than just an example of the type.

    Also surprising how many are the only example of the type left...

    Thanks for the pics! I didn't realize any of the Smithsonian museums were open during COVID. Did they limit the # of people as it looks way way less crowded in those pics compared to the last time I visited in 2014.

    Did you get a chance to see the restoration hangar? They had some Nazi flying wing disassembled...wonder what they did with it since if anything. Not my pic but it looked like this in 2014 when I saw it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229#/media/File:Horten_Ho_229_Restoration_Hangar_Smithsonian.jpg
