Bus 3: Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum

   
       
          Today (Thursday) we visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.  We arrived at about noon time, and ate lunch at McDonald's. After we finished our lunch we could explore the famous and historic aircraft and spacecraft. Hundreds of aircraft line the ceiling and floor. As soon as we walked downstairs, we were greeted with the world's fastest plane. One of the highlights of the museum was the space shuttle called Discovery.

Discovery flew a total of 39 Earth orbit missions, and was used from 1981 to 2011.
          This museum was very interesting, and was a great experience for everyone.
