Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center – Chantilly, VA

• Located next to Dulles Airport.  With more than 3,000 artifacts, including nearly 200 aircraft on display. 

• The building’s design lends itself to the theme of the collection, with a very large hangar displaying aircraft, models, memorabilia, uniforms, engines, and more.
• We also have many other military aircraft, spanning from World War I to modern-day planes.  Some of our key aircraft include a Sopwith Camel, a Sikorsky JRS-1 that survived the Pearl Harbor attack, the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, an SR-71 Blackbird, an F-14 Tomcat, and an F-18 Hornet that was flown during the Gulf War before becoming a Blue Angel.
• There are also several non-military planes, including an Air France Concorde, the first Federal Express jet, air racers, experimental aircraft, helicopters, and more.
• The second hangar displays some of our space-related artifacts, including Space Shuttle Discovery, capsules, spacesuits, and other items from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, rockets, missiles, some pop culture, space science, and more.   
• The site has a working restoration hangar with a glass overlook for visitors to view some of the conservation projects underway, including Flak Bait, the B-26 Marauder that flew more missions than any other American aircraft in World War II.
• Visitors can also watch planes take off and land at Dulles Airport from 169 feet up in the Museum’s observation tower. https://airandspace.si.edu/visit/udvar-hazy-center
