“Innovations in Flight” Event Returns to Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum

June 14, 2022 by The District Leave a Comment

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

The National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center will host its annual “Innovations in Flight Outdoor Aviation Display,” Saturday, June 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors will be able to view over 50 vintage, modern and commercial aircraft that will fly in for the day and be on display outside the museum. Aircraft scheduled to appear include U.S. Air Force C-47 “Miss Virginia,” Pan Am DC-3 “Clipper Tabitha May” and Rockwell Commander 690D “Citizen of the World,” which flew pole-to-pole in 2020. Free passes are required to view the outdoor display and can be reserved on the museum’s website.

“Innovations in Flight Outdoor Aviation Display” will explore the engineering and design achievements of the past century of flight. Visitors can talk with pilots and explore the aircrafts’ cockpits and cabins. In addition to the outdoor aircraft display, museum educators will lead visitors in plane spotting aircraft landing at Washington Dulles International Airport and teach them how to spot and identify aircraft from anywhere. Visitors will also be able to use social media filters to transform into iconic pilots from aviation history.

The event is made possible through the support of United Airlines. To learn more about the museum and “Innovations in Flight,” visit the museum’s website.
