I was born into the 2nd Marine Air Wing in 1956. I also have many flight hours in the UH-1 and Army variant of the CH-46 (Chinook). Thank you for vicariously taking me through memory lane at the museum. What a wonderful Christmas gift for your viewers. Bless you Andrew.
@@gdfitzgibbon Yup. That's why I said Army variant with Chinook in parentheses. It was my MOS. Had way more flight time in Hueys though. Uncle Sugar's Army works in mysterious ways lol. Have a good day.
You are in your element! You need to just wait and get in that simulator! Loved seeing all the aircraft. The Discovery tiles show how many tiles needed to be replaced. Merry Christmas to your families and you!
I enjoyed your video. The museum was super cool. Russians in the US, oh my! Your Christmas looks so beautiful. I really do love the lights. Anyway, thanks for taking us P6. See you tomorrow.
You are definitely a kid at heart. Your enthusiasm and zest for life is wonderful and makes the videos great. Plus your breadth of knowledge and willingness to share. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy and prosperous new year!
As someone who used to be a surface plate layout inspector for Boeing, AF, Pratt Whitney and Navy years ago, this was cool to see. Thanks for the tour. Wish it was a little longer, but not complaining
AWESOME aerospace museum! Love it! I love how they even have the Concord and Space Shuttle in this Museum as well! Should I visit and/or move to DC in near future, I will MOST DEFINITELY make this museum on my bucket list of things to do and see in DC.
This air and space museum in in Chantilly, VA. There is an air and space museum on a much smaller scale I Washington D.C. that has mostly space aircraft and capsules.
5:31 "No smoking within 100 feet"... okay, but what about the B-29 itself?? 😂 That was one smoking hot airframe! As an Aircraft Engineer and history nerd I love to even just sit inside one!
Thank you for this great tour of the Udvar-Hazy Center. I was there about 10 years ago, and I remember some of it. Merry Christmas, Andrew, and to your family!
P6 you sure know your planes. Very cool to see the collection they have there. I would have thought Russia would be picking up his American western goods in China?
Thank you for sharing the air and space annex. My dad was WWII army air Corp 4Th fighter group. My cousin (like a brother) VN Army Captain flew Chinook aircraft, was killed along with his 4 crew members during an air show. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year 🫎🙏🎄⛄️🦌🎁🎅🛷❄️❤️
Andrew, it wasn't a boring day after all, as you mentioned it would be because Joseph and Kamala were out of town. By the contrary, when they are not around, and the press is not chasing after them to get a sentence out of their mouths is when life in Washington D.C. becomes more exhilarating and enjoyable. Your videography from the museum was absolument fantastique, as the French say. I think, because all your good work, you need to buy for yourself a good Christmas gift. You deserve it.
I didn't know there was an air & space museum at Dulles! Not sure if you've been there, but there's a museum at Naval Air Station Pensacola -- the home of the Blue Angels. I've been there several times. You'd love it! If the Blue Angels are in town, they practice early in the morning, and the public can attend. Seating is limited, tho, so you have to get there early. ETA: You don't realize how big the rockets and space shuttles were until you stand next to them. We visited Cape Canaveral once and saw the Saturn V rocket. HOLY CRAP IT WAS MONSTROUS. One of the shuttles was also there, but I can't remember which one.
I love your videos! Lived in DC in the Carter then Reagan era, 3 & E Cap SE, close to it ALL, your stuff brings it all back in most vivid terms. I must say I worry about your diet, all those fries Jeesh!, but you are totally cookin', so who am I to scold...? Keep up the GREAT work!
A great aviation venue video. Always good to see planes, especially at this facility. One point of clarification; the plane you referenced as Flak Bait, is a B-17 Flying Fortress. Flak Bait is a B-26 Marauder that is being restored. You had a video section of engines and a tail that were under the Enola Gay, these are parts to Flak Bait.
Merry Christmas from Australia enjoy your videos because I have never been to the US and you show us things we would never see. 🎉 Be careful showing Russian planes they mite want them back because they are running out HA!
Very nice tour of the museum. We have a really nice one here in Ohio at Wright Patterson in Dayton. As far as the missiles are concerned, when I was growing up (in the 60's) we had a Nike Missile base that was active between Dayton and my home. During special occasions they would be part of the parades through the towns nearby. They were impressive.
...all Wide Bodies look the same... it's just a Cylindrical rube with stuff attached to it. If it was an EKIP or an Ekranoplane, now that would definitely be different. 🤔
Great visit to the museum! Loved it. Maybe someday I will get the chance to see all that for myself. And what no mini-donuts? Today is Friday! There is always donuts on Friday. JustSaying.
17:08 LOL in what time you live? What good stuff Russians could take from the US ? Computers, smartphones, Televisions, Clothes, Diamonds, Gold etc etc doesn't come from the US . Perhaps half a century ago LOL. Anyway nice tour in the museum and thanx for sharing. Nice to see a spaceshuttle which actualy has been in space
What a shame... but it's typical of the Yankees... this poor man who made this video has still not found out (nor has any of his family notified him) of the well-known matter that Russia stopped being a Communist country already in the year 1991, (the latest stupid things he talks, while the Russian passengers board).... The Moscow Stock Exchange has been operating since September 1991..
the kc-135 was based off of the 367... a prototype that never made it to commercial. this video actually got me super excited... that's awesome that there is so much history available to see up close and personal! Thank you for the introduction!
I love airplanes and helicopters! Thank you so very much for this awesome video! I feel like it's your Christmas present to us! I hope that you and your family have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas! Thank you for all that you do, Andrew!!!
The Air Force still flies the E-3A Airborne and Warning Control Systems (AWACS) radar surveillance aircraft, based on the Boeing 707. It entered service in 1977. Great tour of the aircraft museum. Enjoyed it.
Quite a tour seeing that history of planes, jets, and shuttle ships. Looks like they covered every model known and unknown. Like that spy plane, being the fastest, looked like an arrow. Lot of amazing sleek designs along with the bulbous cargo planes. All polished up.
Why would Russia come to get those items you insuniated when America doesn't produce/manufacture those items anymore for decads, when they can get it from china or turkey that happens to be their friends and neigbors and they are the producers of those items especially china 🤔.
Thanks a million for a walk around Chantilly museum video. It was the best ever visit I had while staying in Fairfax some years ago. I didn't have enough time to visit the entire museum with a colleague who took me there with his wife and their toddler. Having watching live space shuttle launchs for years, I was more than puzzled to see the Discovery Space shuttle majestically parked in there! I would recommend the museum that covers almost 100 years of aviation history with real master pieces to anyone visiting Washington D.C or Virginia.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Andrew, for taking me to interesting places that I could never go to personally. Also, for being our own personal docent on these adventures. You are a fountain of knowledge. 🦉🎓
What a wonderful tour ,so much history i really appreciate you doing it.❤️🇺🇸❤️ I do find it strange a Russian plane at the airport loading ,maybe I question too much ….. ?

When you stroll past a super rare Heinkel HE 220 Uhu "Owl" nightfighter, Lichtenstein radar equipped, without noticing a thing ,we know that you are overwhelmed by the shear size and quality of the best Aerospace museum in the world!
the size of this hangar makes those planes (including Blackie) look like toys... that's just awesome. what's the beautiful glider? next time you do this--take your time and spend a little time on your planes. It's really hard to follow the video because it swishes about too quickly. By the time you recognize the 707, you're off to the cute little guy and just skip over it. For those across the Big Pond or never able to go there, this is like lost opportunity.
Glad today I discovered your RUclips channel. Now looking forward to seeing more. I’ve done construction plans and on site engineering for Navaids (ALS & ILS), and radars & etc. As a retiree , done Space A category 6 travel as a passenger on numerous types of US Air aircraft.
Andrew i feel you are a massive avgeek like me & if you stayed there for 2 days your kids would file a missing dad report on you.😂 Wonderful to see so many classic aircraft on display especially the Corsair. As for the 707 i wonder if that's the one that did the roll over a boat show in Washington state in front of Boeing executives & potential airline bosses🤔.
That is the one that did the barrel roll, and Tex Johnston did it again after the first one because he figured those watching wouldn't believe what they had just seen.
When my dad was at Andrews AFB. We woould ride our bikes to Scout Troop meetings on the south west corner of the base. On thee way we would pass a b-29 parked in a restricted area. It was the Enola Gay. Of course we had no idea about its history. We left there in 1963, last time I saw the enola Gay
The PBY Catalina was on Ford Island and Howard a 17 year old kid was a sheet metal mechanic on the PBY Catalina's and was at Pearl Harbor Dec.7, 1941. He taught me how to do Aircraft sheet metal.😊
The jet aircraft you mis-identified wearing Boeing's yellow, white and maroon livery was not a 707, but the one and only Boeing 367-80, sometimes called the Dash 80. This is the singular prototype the 707 was based on, first flown in 1954. With only 5 abreast seating, the Dash 80's fuselage had to be widened in order to produce the six abreast seating the 707's eventual customers requested. In 1955 Boeing test pilot "Tex" Johnson famously barrel rolled this very aircraft twice over the massively attended hydroplane races taking place in Lake Washington near Seattle, in order to, in his words, "sell airplanes". The reason it was called 367-80 was to hide the prototype from competitors while under construction, even though the eventual longer and wider production aircraft was always going to be called "707".
Penguinsix just showed us a portion of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. It is located at Dulles International airport, but it is in a different area than the airline terminal is. Some of the museum's exhibits are located at the museum's other building in downtown Washington, D.C. Six space shuttles were built, including the Enterprise, which never flew in outer space. One was destroyed during takeoff, one was destroyed while landing. (The crews both died.) One is on display at the museum which is in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. One on display at the Kennedy Space Center , in Florida. The one which did not fly into space is on display in New York. One is on display in Los Angeles, at the California Science Center. The one in Los Angeles will go off display in a week from now on January 1. It will be off display for 2 or 3 years while a new building is built to house it. Washington, D.C. has 3 major airports. Reagan National Airport is in Arlington County, Virginia and Dulles International Airport is further out from town in Virginia. Both airports belong to the U.S. government. They are on long term lease to a joint powers airport authority. Thurgood Marshal/Baltimore Washington International/BWI/Friendship Airport is owned by the Maryland state government. Air Force One has been moved from National Airport to Joint Base Andrews, a military base.
I am surprised that a Russian plane is allowed in the USA . That means there are lay over crew staying in the USA. Why not get the Russians travel to Turkey on Turkish airlines which then comes to the USA.
@@dskains Yes I understand that but a Russian airliner with Russian crew should not be allowed in US airspace. There are plenty of other airlines that can bring them to America. Do we want unknown Russian flight crew in the Country?

Chinook is a Ch 47 not a 46.

I enjoyed your video. The museum was super cool.
Russians in the US, oh my!
Your Christmas looks so beautiful. I really do love the lights.
Anyway, thanks for taking us P6. See you tomorrow.
Your Russian plane went to New York, stayed at JFK for a few hours and left for VKO the same evening.
very impressive Andrew was right there for the exit....wonder how long he had wait till it left?
And here we have The Penguin in his natural habitat - The Air and Space Museum 😀. Thank you for the tour P6, your tree looks great too BTW. 🍻

Wow... so glad you keep us all up to date on so many things... thank you.
It's great that you take us inside the museums. Good job!
Enjoyed seeing the Russian jet take off and rise into the clouds.
Udvar Hazy Museum I was there in 2005, oh what memories. You really know how to entertain guests have a good time. Have a great afternoon 😊
As someone who used to be a surface plate layout inspector for Boeing, AF, Pratt Whitney and Navy years ago, this was cool to see. Thanks for the tour. Wish it was a little longer, but not complaining
Check his catalog, P6 has others of the Air Museum, even one that was live streamed .
@@ablewindsor1459 thanks Able. I've probably seen them, but had forgotten about them. Been following P6 for several years now.
Thanks for the planes, planes and more planes, Andrew. Merry Christmas
I agree 💯!
🥱🎄Xmas?
Cool planes, Helicopter's are my favorite aircraft. And your Christmas tree looks great. Thanks for the hanger tour .
That was cool thanks for taking us there to look at the airplanes and the Russian plane ✈️
Just an awesome informative video. A terrific place to spend a couple of hours. Thanks P6 for sharing.
Good video 👏👏👏👏 I highly recommend you make a trip to the Air Force Museum in Dayton,Ohio given your interest in aviation.
The Black Bird!!❤
"LA Speed Check" is one of my favorite videos on You Tube.😂 Major Brian Shul. What a terrific story!

Loved the tour. Cheers
accidentally came to your site. and it has all the good stories from D.C.
Enjoyable , haven’t been to DC since 1970. Thanks
Thank you for such a great day
...and never turned back. CAVU flight conditions that day. Wonderful to see.
I'm honestly surprised that an Ilushin that's probably as old as I am still flies. 🤣🤣🤣
Andrew i feel you are a massive avgeek like me & if you stayed there for 2 days your kids would file a missing dad report on you.😂 Wonderful to see so many classic aircraft on display especially the Corsair. As for the 707 i wonder if that's the one that did the roll over a boat show in Washington state in front of Boeing executives & potential airline bosses🤔.
That is the one that did the barrel roll, and Tex Johnston did it again after the first one because he figured those watching wouldn't believe what they had just seen.
When my dad was at Andrews AFB. We woould ride our bikes to Scout Troop meetings on the south west corner of the base. On thee way we would pass a b-29 parked in a restricted area. It was the Enola Gay. Of course we had no idea about its history. We left there in 1963, last time I saw the enola Gay
