Udvar-Hazy Center






Nic & I went with Tim & Owen Quigg for a guy afternoon at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Katie and Shannon decided they'd rather go with Debby to work and play with dogs.
At the museum, we came across the model used as the mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. If you look closely at the right side of the mothership photo, you can see R2D2 onboard. Also look for Darth Vader's TIE-fighter slightly left of center. They are just a couple of many little in-jokes the model-makers included.
