Air and Space Museum

I took the new Sony DSLR camera out for a spin at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum.



One of the famous "Flying Tigers" from World War II. I love the name of the airplane.



DC-3 mail planes.



A series of firsts, from left to right:
Charles Lindberg's Spirit of St. Louis, first to cross the Atlantic
SpaceShipOne, first privately funded spaceship
Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1, first to fly faster than sound



How aerial reconnaissance used to be performed (before the U2 spy plane), with the camera operator hanging over the edge with the camera.
