Enola Gay
I haven't had a Pic of the Day for quite a while, so here's a panoramic shot I took during my visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Extension in DC in December of 2003.
Sorry it's a little blurry. The shots were taken without flash from a walkway running through the middle of the huge space used for this facility. The problem is, the walkway was not very riggidly attached to the ground - thus, it was shaking slight the whole time I was taking pictures. With no flash and a lot of shaking, it's a wonder this came out as well as it did.

Yes, sorry about that. I forgot to fix the reference in the mt.cfg. The rest of the site was already updated to skip that.
The Extension was kind of neat, but I'd wait a few more months. I guess it had just opened (October? November?), and it felt pretty raw. Pretty much, it's just a huge airplane hangar with some historical planes in it. I think they need to do more exhibit building, then it'll be more fun.
By the way- I felt the same about the Computer History Museum. Both were kind of, oh, more raw than museums are supposed to be. The CHM was worse, for sure, but that's cause it has so much less funding...
