UDVAR-HAZY CENTER SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM in WASHINGTON, DC (PART 4 END)

I visited the Udvar-Hazy Center Smithsonian Museum in May-2016. This is the 4th and last page of this article.

Focke-Wulf Fw190-F.

Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden-Kai. George.

Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden-Kai. George. The underside of the main wing and machine gun.

Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden-Kai. George. The zoom up of the propeller.

Kawanishi N1K2-Ja Shiden-Kai. George. Propeller and engine.

Aichi M6A1 Seiran float. Look in the back Kawasaki Ki-45 Kai Toryu fuselage.

A suicide attack weapon Ohka (cherry blossom). I think such a weapon shouldn’t be used even if applicants were there. One of the weapons I’d like to forget it, but which should never be forgotten. It’s too regrettable that a possibility of the survival rate zero. At least, it should have been the mechanism that a seat was fired several seconds before the collision.

Nakajima J1N Gekko (Moonlight). Irving.

Dornier Do335 A-1 Pfeil.

The fuselage of Heinkel He219A Uhu.

Northrop P-61C Black Widow.

Northrop N-1M flying wing.

Biplane Fowler- gauge tractors.

Halberstadt CLIV. Lozenge pattern camouflage has been beautifully reproduced.

Spad XVI.

Machine gun mounted on the Caudron G.4.

Caudron G.4.

The number of biplanes is also quite large.

I took a picture during a toilet break. Plastic models were also displayed. Maybe they are not plastic, solid models.

Ryan PT-22A Recruit.

Strategic reconnaissance aircraft Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird. I held a camera considerably from far away and at last all in flame.

The machine gun of the Hawker Hurricane IIC.

The muffler of the Hawker Hurricane IIC.

Messerschmitt Me 163 B-Ia Komet.

I could observe the Restoration Hanger over the glass. It’s quite large.

Judging from the cockpit shape and the main wing, this is probably the bomber B-25 Mitchell. They seem to be making 1/1 scales of a plastic model, and it seems fun. If it’s a hobby, it’s the last hobby, isn’t it?

Engines and the wheels can be seen.

Twin-engined flying boat. Is it being painted?

UDVAR-HAZY CENTER is good at the display. In Japan, it would be difficult for an exhibition hanging large airplanes by wires from a large earthquake is often.

Curtis 1A Gulf Hawk. I think this is for acrobatic flights.

It was taken in the direction of the commercial aircraft exhibition area.

Boeing 367-80.

Biplanes.

Biplanes.

There is an observation deck in UDVAR-HAZY CENTER and sees a control tower of the Dulles International Airport over there.

From the observation deck, you can see a lot of aircraft passing in preparation for landing.
All the exhibits are indoors and the condition is very good. There are lots of detailed explanations and I do not get bored. I was very missing leaving in a few hours. I wanted to watch them for about 2 days if possible.
