You don't need to be an aviator to go plane crazy…

……but you might want to get your pilot’s license after this sky-high adventure at the Virginia branch of the National Air and Space Museum. On teams, you’ll explore the museum’s two giant hangars and answer tricky, humorous questions about the collection’s 200-plus planes, helicopters, gliders, and space vehicles. Even if you aren’t an aviation fan, you probably will be by the end of this hunt—and regardless, you’ll certainly discover plenty of objects to amuse and fascinate you.

Along the Way, You Might Discover

• An airman’s wacky “party suit”
• The original spaceship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind
• Kitschy Lindbergh and space-age memorabilia
• A true-to-life scene of peasants attacking a balloon (they thought it was a monster)
• An ingenious CIA transmitter designed to resemble dog poop

Plus, a full-size Concorde and space shuttle, a Boeing 707, a scary-cool Blackbird jet (like something out of a Batman movie), and the Enola Gay, which dropped the first A-bomb on Hiroshima. But you don’t have to be an aviator to triumph—you just need good teamwork, sharp eyes, and comfortable shoes.
