As promised, today's Vlog is about the infamous Enola Gay
Look at the plane landing
Anyway, this is part 2 , I believe there will be part 3
Across from me are 2 major planes
This Jet and the one in the background
I will talk about each one of them when I get downstairs
This is Lockheed SR-71 A Blackbird
This is it
PMD (California) to IAD (Virginia) in 1 hr. 4 min.
Commercial jets spend 5 hrs. Doing the same flight
Most visitors come here for this plane
Look at the engine
Like a flying bullet
Next is space shuttle Discovery
30 yrs. in the sky
Retired in 2011 with odometer reading 240,000,000 km.
39 missions , 5830 earth orbits
Discovery had many roles, like transporting telescope Hubble to space...
Look at the rear how gigantic it is , it looks small from far away
Look at the exhaust pipes
Look and admire the tail of this shuttle
It has tiles on its wings and the tail
WW2 PLANES
I want to show you the plane up there
Here is another view from under
It's called Enola Gay
Left wing
I'm going up one more level and show you
Planes all over like toys
Going up the stairs
There it is
old planes in here
If I'm not mistaken this is the first plane ever
More planes hanging than on the ground
This is the plane this Vlog revolves around
This is the wicked plane for most people
I will show you to what extent people hated this plane
Name: Enola Gay (Boeing B-29)
This is the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945
Therefore, the most hated plane.
I'm about to show what the museum did to deter people's anger
Especially Japanese
It reminds them how their ancestors died
The museum added this thick glass
People hurled paint to deface the plane
Because of their anger , after many accidents the glass was put
This is the real Enola Gay not a double
Look at the design back then in 1945
Beside me now this kid looks Japanese to me
Going downstairs now
I spotted a couple interesting planes Concorde and FedEx planes
I'm thirsty from talking, I'm going to drink
You can fill your bottle here
Air France Concorde
Planes hanging from the ceiling
I hope they're secured
FedEx first plane ever
Concorde
Top speed 2179 km/hr
This Vlog is coming to and end
I discussed three major planes
Museum is closing soon , I can hear that in the speakers
Museum closed at 5:30 pm
