So I decided to fly down to IAD to visit the Udvar-Hazy Museum. It's a great place with lots of airplanes on display--much better than the 'main' air and space museum.

I decided to fly Delta since they're my new airline of choice and my first 'elite' program (Silver Medallion). FLights both ways were on an ERJ-145 operated by Freedom Air. First flight was around 45 minutes but no beverage service was offered.

The Udvar-Hazy museum is a neat place to visit if you have a long IAD layover. There's a 50 cent bus from the terminal to the museum every 2 hours or so. Lots of great aircraft on display. Sorry for the poor quality pics. I'm not a photographer and don't have a fancy camera. My favorites on display were an SR-71, the Dash-80, Concorde, and the Satellite Exhibit. The tour guides do a great job of showing you around.

Below is a link with a few pictures I took. Enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of detail for the report but I'm at work...
