National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

Many people have been to the Air and Space Museum in DC. Many have heard of this one near Dulles airport but have never been there. It is an incredible place to visit. This is the second time I am here, still awed by the collection in this big hanger. No tripod allowed so I had to rely on the high ISO capabilities of my D700. Image isn't as sharp as I would like it to, but I am more than satisfied with them given the lighting conditions. If you visit this place, bring your wide angle lens for sure, otherwise be prepared to do a lot of fun panos!

Lens used: AF-D 20mm prime and Ai-S 50mm prime.

I will post only a few here but feel free to visit the rest of the photos here:

Also, it happened that we were at the Enterprise space shuttle exhibit when the Atlantis was being launched, so we did out count down in front of a real shuttle. It's quite a special moment.
PS. That lady in blue shirt just kept standing right in the middle of the TV screen so no matter how I move myself, I just can't get a sight of the TV....arrhhh.
