I visited the Udvar-Hazy Center Smithsonian Museum in May 2016. I show the pictures have you taste an atmosphere with interest. My hobby is modeling, so ordinary people may feel some images from a strange angle. Some photos were out of focus. The information posted on this page is current as of May 2016.
Aichi M6A1 Seiran. I made this airplane plastic model last year. I saw it seriously.
Piper PA-18 Super Cub. It is a light airplane used worldwide and has produced over 10,000 planes since 1949.
Grob 102 Standard Astir III. Sailplane, or glider a thing.
Pan American Airlines Boeing 307 Stratoliner. Clipper Flying Cloud. Compared with people, you can see the size.
Air France Concorde. Britain and France jointly developed and commercialized the supersonic airliner. Cruising speed 2200 km/h (2 times the speed of sound). The first flight was in 1969. The business flight started in 1976. Caused the crash of all deaths at the de Gaulle Airport on July 2000, service stop decision on August 15, 2000. The US was planning the same type of aircraft but abandoned it. The Soviet Union left the commercialization but fabricated it (appearance was just like in Concord). I think the Tupolev Tu-144 is also good-looking.
Air France Concorde. It’s so big that it doesn’t fit into one picture. It’s the backside.
Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser. Single-engine small aircraft. One pilot and two passengers.
Waterman Aerobile. Umm… I have already forgotten a little; there are three wheels, so isn’t it the concept of a car flying in the air? The first flight was in 1937.
Lockheed 1049F Super Constellation. The body which extended the body of Constellation 5.64m.
Robinson R22. Two-seat helicopter.
The back of the olive drab aircraft autogyro Keretto XO-60. Redone is
Robinson R44. The Bluetail in the white body is Bell H-13J in the middle. The
white one is Bell Model 47B. I do not know the shape that it is taken from
above.
I think it’s worth overseeing them. Unfortunately, there was
no time and I just saw a little.
There are various helicopters. When you’d see the models I usually build, I don’t know this genre. I only made Apache before.
Lockheed 1049F Super Constellation. Vertical tail.
Lockheed 1049F Super Constellation. The front red one is Fulton Airphibian FA-3-101. The yellow and blue biplane is Fleet Model 2, which a Canadian firm manufactured.

Beechcraft King Air 65-90. A turboprop is a small passenger aircraft. Sorry for only a picture from the bottom.
Beach craft D18S. A small twin-engine passenger plane with good taking-off and landing performance.
Curtis F9C-2. The biplane, which can depart from and arrive at the flying airship, developed around 1930. A hook is seen in the upper part.
Piper PA-23. A small twin-engine passenger plane in around 1950. It’s good coloring.
Piper PA-23. The 4 to 6 passengers’ airplane.
Airbus A330/340 landing gear. It is huge. I want to get aboard this airplane if there is a chance.
