Further Adventures of Gilwell


 Gilwell, the Tiger Cub mascot is back with us this week!

We took him to the Udvar Hazy Air and Space Annex.

This was our first time back since they got Discovery, the space shuttle that spent the most time in space.

We were amazed at how different it was than Enterprise, the shuttle prototype which used to be displayed here!

For starters, it seemed much larger, and the engines were very different, and it looked much more... used.  It was very, very cool!
We also showed Gilwell the Enola Gay. 

And went up into the control tower to watch the planes take off and land at Dulles.

Choclo's favorite part, however, was the array of different aircraft engines, which I totally forgot to photograph!
