I had been wanting to see the Space Shuttle Discovery for quite some time. I only live about 3 hours from the Udvar-Hazy Center in Washington D.C. This past weekend I finally got the chance and it was glorious! If you don’t know, this was the shuttle that carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit.
Yeah the B-29 is a beast! My Grandfather worked on them.
Found one from my visit:
Nice shot! I was just reading about how the pilot who dropped the bomb, named the plane after his mom. He just had some Airman paint it on right before the mission.
