After another meeting marathon I headed to my final stop for the day in the District - the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution...
Rushing into the museum before it closes...
A history navigation aids - navaids...
An atomic clock... time to reset your watches!
Some rockets...
The lunar module of the Apollo moon landing missions...
The lunar module cockpit...
The lunar buggy...
Integrated navigational features in phones...
Case of navigation gone wrong - the tragic shooting down of Korean Air Lines KAL007 over seas between Japan and the erstwhile Soviet Union, in 1983...
A gyroscope...
Heading to the Skylab...
The interior of the Skylab...
The glider the Wright Brothers flew in 1903...
An aircraft that revolutionized flight - the Douglas DC3...
A display of a Northwest Boeing 747-200...
And this is what I was looking forward to...
A model of a Braniff Boeing 747-100 in a stunning orange livery...
Crew uniform...
The cockpit...
With the navigation desk...
And the analogue cockpit...
A futuristic design...
The future of air defence depends on UAVs or drones...
An American Boeing 707 flight deck on display...
The command module of the Apollo 11 mission...
The lunar module...
