The second stop on my January 2022 museum tour is the Udvar-Hazy Center outside of Washington, D.C. and near Dulles International Airport. Space Shuttle Discovery is featured in this museum along other significant artifacts like the B-29 Superfortress “Enola Gay”. Here’s a collection of my favorite shots from the visit. Enjoy!
