The Udvar-Hazy Center near the Washington DC airport

For work (helping with the commissioning of the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope), I had to be in Baltimore for a bit more than two weeks.  I flew to (and from) the Washington DC (Dulles) airport.  Very close by the airport, I visited the Udvar-Hazy Center, an air and space museum.  The most impressive spacecraft to see is the Space Shuttle Discovery.  The planes that are displayed are also really impressive: The concorde, Enola Gay, the Blackbird, ...  A very nice museum to spend some time before boarding the flight back to Europe!
