A Walk Through the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museums

I'm only 17 and the sheer amount of negative and immature comments on this video is outstanding. I really cannot see what is wrong with this video. It's informative enough and is brief as too not take up an entire day to watch. It's an issue I get myself when I visit a museum, not being able to take in every aircraft fully. Cheers for this video anyway, since I'm from England and it's quite a distance across the pond it'll be a long while before I visit myself.

Thank you for your commentary. Enjoy your tour. Too old to travel so this is a treat. Thanks again. 🙏🙏🙏

Hands down the best air and space museum walk through on YouTube. Many people don't have the opportunity to visit the museum in person. Very good job and congrats.

At 44:00 is my father Kevin Uliassi's balloon capsule: the J. Renee. He flew non-stop from Rockford, Ilinois to Myanmar solo in 2000 UNPRESSURIZED (he actually spend a large portion of the time outside the capsule). He reached heights of higher than 40,000 feet and spent the majority of the 10-day, 13,000-mile flight above the hight of 30,000 ft. He holds two world records for his unique flight and has probably spent more time in extremely low pressure than any human ever. The balloon was a Roziere balloon (hybrid heated helium gas balloon) of his own design. He also designed and built most of the capsule that is on display. Thank you for including the capsules on your tour. There are some great feats of engineering, hard work, and courage in the aviation field of long-distance ballooning, but very few people know anything about it.

Hi, I'm not sure of your name, but I would just like to express my thanks for a walk around the National air and space Museum.I last visited on The Mall in 1997… A lot has changed, back then you could touch a piece of moon rock! Having been quadriplegic for the last 10 years, a visit to both museums was much appreciated… Thank you Best regards Dave Moyes

Having been to the first storage and restoration facility in Suitland Md. and then this incredible facility, a word of Thanks and Gratitude to Steven Udvar-Hazy and those he enlisted to make this a reality. This is a wonderful video presentation. How fortunate are we.

Love an aircraft museum, especially one this large. Very informative video. Thankyou from London, England 👍

As an european, who really wants to visit this for years already, thank you so much for this video, it was so nice to see everything, amazed by how big those lunar modules & f1 engines really are, wasnt expecting it to be THAT big. great video man, thank you.

I worked for 42 years in the aircraft buildings, and some of the parts that i made are there some place in those Planes , as well as the Gemini stuff. Good to see that i was part of all that history. Thanks for your time and efforts to show. Ben A. Lujan , retired from the Boeing Company and proud of it. I love Boeing.

I'm old enough to remember when the Wright Flyer and Spirit of St. Louis were in the original Smithsonian Castle! Great tour of both facilities, thank you for posting your walk-about. Sometime include the story of the B17 mural in the WWII room and how one of the first visitors recognized the pilot as her deceased husband.

Thank you very much for showing these two facilities. I love anything to do with aerospace, and I've always wanted to go to these museums. I thoroughly enjoyed it and still hope to get there one day.

This walk around video is most excellent! I like Your calm camera moves, the absence of edutainment, the filming is constantly very clear, and Your commenting very helpful. Thanks for making and sharing this to all of us!

I originally had no intention of watching the whole movie but I couldn’t turn it off. Thank you for sharing.

Watched it in one sitting and loved it all!! Thanks so much for taking the time to film, narrate and post this fabulous video. Don't know when or if I'll be able to make it to see in person but it's on the bucket list for sure! Thank you very much again.

Outstanding job with a good view for those unable to attend, brilliant job, many thanks.

Amazing walkthrough. 1:45 - They have so many more planes hanging here now, crazy to see how the museum has transformed in the past years

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm disabled with mobility issues and would have never had the opportunity to see this exhibit in person. Outstanding. :)

Wow, thank you for a great tour! Enjoyed it very much.

I was 16 the first time I was there. I'm now 42. I absolutely MUST go back. While I was there I did walk inside the Enola Gay! What an experience! I have got to go back!!!!! I love your video!!

Standing in front of the Enola Gay I was struck by her historical significance. Then by the sheer beauty of the aircraft. Then by the magnificent restoration. Believe me, it is almost overwhelming. In my mind the star of the show in this wonderful museum. I have been a number of times and will go back again, but every time I am awestruck by this B-29.
