The boys particularly enjoyed this one, but was a place we all could have spent a lot more time. Everything from the beginning of flight through the Space Program of today. We actually got to touch a piece of moon rock brought back on one of the moon missions. It was amazing to be standing next to a command capsule of an Appollo mission and to go inside of the living space of the next stage. The "Rover" buggies were also on display. The whole experience seemed a bit surreal after seeing the flights on TV for over 30 yeaqrs !!
Charles Lindbergh's plane, The Spirit of St Lious, was hanging in the gallery.
Amelia Earhart set 2 of her many aviation records - May 20/21, 1932 flew solo across the Atlantic then Aug 24/25 she flew non-stop across the United States - 2 firsts for a woman.(red Lockhead 5B Vega in picture)
