We were just there last summer (after a quick stop in ATL). It was so crowded, it was hard to see anything. Are you going to Udvar-Hazy?

If you can, you have to checkout the Udvar-Hazy Center, next to Dulles airport.

Not making it to Hazy this trip. We are only here for the day. The museum is light today. Pretty awesome. Also, look what is on the ground!

Unplanned DC day. Tried to get to PHX, but the flight was full. Next gate over was DCA and it was wide open. Did Lincoln, Washington Monument and now Smithsonian. Can't make Hazy this trip, but I will be back in a month or so.

Oh, man. I tried taking pics of that when it was hanging from the ceiling, with little success. I'd be all over that with my long lens. Awesome. Have fun!

I have been lucky enough to visit the Smithsonian, and the city that goes with it, twice, and hopefully I'm going back in the spring. Awesome place.

I noticed the work blankets on the Spirit. Are they renovating/remodeling/repairing?

wow didn't know that had taken it off the ceiling. I'll have to go buy at lunch one day and check it out.

not sure what they are doing. They had it in temp wheels, which looked odd.

next Saturdsy they are having an open house at the Hazy restoration facility. Go and bring back pictures!

Thanks for the link! I would have enjoyed watching them lower it. Talk about a pressure gig!

If anybody is in the DC area next Saturday, this place could use some help:

Apparently down for repairs.

I'm thinking about writing up something about the repairs to the Spirit. Could I get your permission to use a couple of your photos with credit?

f86sabre > Chris Clarke 01/20/2015 at 19:53

That would be fine. Would you like me to post up the full images, probably to Picasso or Dropbox, so you can edit them or do you want to just use the ones on Kinja already?

Also, you have to love the trailer wheels they have it sitting on!

Chris Clarke > f86sabre 01/20/2015 at 20:58

Those wheels were the first thing I noticed. Classy. I'll check the kinja versions tomorrow but if you have hi res links that'd be sweet.

I'm uploading to Dropbox now. May take overnight. Let me know if you want the full size. If you go to my Kinja you will see my name. Add @gmail.com and I should be able to send you a link.
