The SR-71 Blackbird. This is a big plane. It deserves a big picture. When you enter the main hall and walk back this is the centerpiece. Behind the SR-71 in the photo above you can see Enterprise. Enterprise was the first test shuttle. It had no working engines. It is currently being restored at this facility and is on display.

The view of Enterprise from the observation overlook.	A closeup of the nose and the front section of the orbiter!
Part of the wing section has been removed for evaluation...	they removed it to study the Columbia Shuttle disaster.
The Concorde.	The Enola Gay.
Cockpit detail photo 1.	Cockpit detail photo 2.
The model for Close Encounters Speilburg had a sense of humor...	There are odd things on the model Here you see airplanes!
How about 55 gallon drums! Aliens had odd stuff on their ship The detail in the model is tremendous!	My favorite, R2D2. You see R2D2 on screen in the movie as the ship rises over Devils Knob. He is upside down!
More information about other items on the ship are explained on the plaque that is near the model.	The P-47 Lightning. This is one of my favorite WWII model airplanes.

These are pieces from the World Trade Center. It was moving to see parts of the building close up.
