America's Hangar



Excellent DVD!
I have been to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. several times, but this DVD is a great souvenir of both that museum and the new, larger Air & Space Museum II at Dulles Airport. I may not get to the new museum at Dulles, so this video tour is the next best thing.

Good but Out-dated
America's Hanger is about the National Air and Space Museum. I am a volunteer tour guide (docent) at the museum. Overall I would rate the DVD as "Good". It is becoming out-dated but for the price it is okay. Aspects of the museum shown in the DVD such as the retoration facility and the space shuttle Enterprise are no longer current -- the restoration portion has been moved to the Udvar Hazy Center of the museum and artifacts under restoration change. The Enterprise has moved to New York and has been replaced by the space shuttle Discovery. In other words, the NASM may be a museum but the museum doen't remain static, it has changed and will continue to do so. If you can accept these limitations, the DVD is worth the bargain price.
