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.

nice pics, just thought i'd mention most of your pics are from the Udvar Hazey museum located at Dulles airport which is part of the air and space museum. also the B-29 is the Enola Gay.
Wherever their bones may lie, the courage of heroes is consecrated in the hearts and engraved in the history of the free. Lt Col Honner DSO MC, 39th Commander speaking of the dead from the battle of Kokoda.
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.

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.
