New Galleries at the NASM on the Mall from Mary Dominiak
I got a behind-the-scenes hard hat tour of three of the five new galleries that will open on July 1, 2026, at the Smithsonian National Air and Space altitude and be slowed from much greater speed. And SpaceX has made those launches and returns a routine thing, with some boosters having flown over 30 times. […]
Aviation History at Warrenton from Mary Dominiak

The May 9 Young Eagles rally at Warrenton Airport was canceled. We had 30 kids plus 15 on the waitlist but the pilot/aircraft list shrank in the days leading up to the event to the point that we could not have held a successful rally. Pilots: In an effort to push the total of Young […]
