Love the pictures near the bottom!

Field trip anyone? :D

I'm surprised this was not installed at the new museum at IAD.

Looks pretty cool though!

Probably ran out of room at IAD...

Love that 741! I wish it was opened when I was there a few years ago!

Wow.. they move quickly. I was there on the 11th (I work a few blocks away), and the front fuselage was in about 12 pieces on the floor.

There's plenty of space remaining at the Udvar-Hazy Center - nearly the whole south end of the museum is empty. There's a GE90 engine just sort of sitting in a cradle there waiting for a display.
