Tour of National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center
July 13 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Take to the skies and explore outer space with your fellow DCSWA members during a guided tour of the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center (14390 Air and Space Museum Pkwy, Chantilly, VA 20151) on Saturday, July 13th, starting at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
The center displays thousands of aviation and space artifacts, including the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Gemini 4 spacecraft (from which astronaut Ed White took the first U.S. spacewalk), the Gossamer Albatross (the first man-powered aircraft to fly across the English Channel), an SR-71 Blackbird (the fastest airbreathing manned aircraft), and a Concorde supersonic airliner.
We’ll also be able to watch any ongoing restoration and preservation work going on in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar from the glassed-in mezzanine viewing area.
The tour is limited to the first 30 DCSWA members and guests (limit of 1 per member) who register by 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 11. There is no fee for the tour; however, parking is $15 per car.
