Initial comments

This page doesn't come close to doing the place justice. I'll be in the area next week, so I'll see if I can snap some pictures and pick up some promotional material to flesh this out a bit. Kaszeta 19:26, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Picture has been added, and I'll work on the text later this week. Kaszeta 15:42, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Museum is having trouble handling advance reservations for its IMAX shows because of the huge crowds that are visiting even well outside of the summer tourist season. You're likely to get a phone recording that says the queue is so long that you won't even be allowed to wait on hold. Buy IMAX tickets well in advance and arrive at the Museum near its opening time if you expect to get a parking place and see a show.

Seems all very out of date

SR-71

Under the Collection section for the SR-71 Blackbird, it has in parentheses (Jetfire). For those of you that don't know, Jetfire was the robot in Transformers which could transform into an SR-71. He was housed in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in the movie. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure this was just done as a joke and should not be included here. Someone else can make the decision whether or not to remove it. Damaband (talk) 04:03, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I saw it was done by an anonymous member and was obviously vandalism. I reverted it back to its previous form. Damaband (talk) 06:14, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting side note: Yesterday I visited the Udvar-Hazy center, and there actually was a Jetfire exhibit! Near the SR-71 there was a display of movie artifacts (props), transformer toys etc and a monitor displaying a continuous loop of Jetfire transforming from the SR-71 and breaking out of the hanger doors. I don't think this merits inclusion in the main article, so I'm just noting it here. Ferritecore (talk) 19:58, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On this photo I saw four aircrafts surrounding the Dash 80, who can recognize them? -- Great Brightstar (talk) 10:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
