Superb display of aircraft - Museum admission is free but be prepared to pay a hefty parking lot fee

This is a wonderful museum (and you don't have to go into D.C.!). Even for someone like me who is not an aviation nut, it's a great opportunity to see how the history of aviation has evolved and the role aviation has played in history.
