Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

While I was in Washington DC a couple last week, I took the time to go and see the National Air and Space Museum. They have some great WW2 exhibits there. Here I will post some photos of some of the WW2 aircraft there. Unfortunatly some of them are quite dark, my flash did not work too well on them.

You know that American beer is, lets say for a word, 'watered down'. You need to have 3 bottles to have the same effect a 1 Canuck beer.

Opps forget. Great pics thanks for sharing.

It is one of the best I have ever been too. I have been there now twice but this was the first time since the Udvar Hazey museum which is part of the Smithsonian. The aircraft that would not fit in the original building are housed there including the Space Shuttle Enterprise and an SR-71 Blackbird. Most of the Museums collection still is not on display.

That's a myth!
Especially if you're a Molsen or Labatt drinker.


Those are great pics, Adler! I'd love to visit that place!

No it is Moosehead.

Tell my American friends that who would rather have our beer because they did not have to drink as many to get drunk. If we matched them bottle for bottle, us with American beer, at the end of the night we would be still standing while they would be on the floor.
