#and prior to going to Udvar-Hazy my favorite aviation museum was the Naval aviation museum in pensacola

[corditeandwhiskey]

And it's currently sitting in the Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Annex just outside of Dulles Intl. Airport in Chantilly, VA. Last time I was there I heard rumblings that there's a plan to reassemble it. And after seeing their on-sight restoration hangar, I 100% believe that rumor.

10/10 would recommend this museum for any of my AvGeek friends.

Horton Ho 229V3, captured and shipped back to the States. This is the one and only time it was assembled. When captured in Germany it was incomplete, the fuselage/centre section was many miles away from the outer wing panels when discovered by US troops. The Ho 229 was the only jet powered flying wing that actually flew during the war.

The second prototype, V2, was destroyed and the pilot killed on its second powered flight. This is the third prototype and was taken to America under Operation Paperclip. It was the world's first stealth aircraft, although its stealth capabilities were only discovered after computer modelling in the 21st century
