[Rhodes22-list] Memphis Belle

[Gardner, Douglas (LNG-DAY)]

Yeah, Lloyd, I was really just talking about the old one on the mall. I was
being a bit flippant (imagine that??).  I really do love the Air & Space
Museum.  You can see some serious one-of-a-kind historic aircraft there.
Both museums are treasures.  Of course, if you want to see an XB-70, there's
only one place you can go. ;^)  

In terms of size, though, even the new one at Dulles is dwarfed by the one
at Wright Pat.
I couldn't find a recent picture, but there is another hanger as large as
the big one you can see in the current pic
(http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/info.htm ) plus a missile gallery.  Of
course, the picture doesn't really give an idea of the scale of the place.
Ya have to see it.

Doug,

Are you talking about the new museum out by Dulles Airport or the old museum
on the mall in downtown DC?  That new museum is pretty darn big!
