Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center

I went to the SFUH Center. It was a large building filled with aircraft. It had hot air balloons, airplanes, helicopters, and gliders. One of its sections is dedicated to space. It has the shuttle Discovery along with a whole bunch of satellites and rockets. One thing that I have not seen anywhere else is a floating platform built for the Army. It could hover in the air and support the weight on one soldier. I also saw this thing called the Double Eagle which was an air balloon that transported two people across the Atlantic. One thing that is cool about the SFUH Center is that it has airplanes that are hanging from the ceiling and that there is a catwalk that goes to that level so you can see the airplanes clearly. It's not my first time coming there but it does have new stuff. For example, it has the space shuttle and it has also opened a Restoration Hangar. That's where you can see old planes being assembled. Presently, there is a Japanese WWII fighter plane being assembled. In the space center, they have a lot of missiles that were used by the army and navy but they look like mini airplanes instead of rockets. One weird plane that I saw was a German jet plane that was super fat and had a propeller that was probably 2 inches long. The most impressive thing they had was the Blackbird spy plane.
