I have mentioned before how it feels to walk among our country’s history of aviation at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum.  That special feeling hits you the moment you walk in. Just above the foyer is the Spirit of St. Louis, the Bell X-1 and SpaceShipOne, each special for their own accomplishments. If you don’t recall what each are famous for, take a quick peek here.
