I was there this afternoon for a few hours, very enjoyable, amazing aircraft and history. Not too many people, entry is free, cab from IAD was $15 (10 minutes), I then took the center shuttle bus to the main location in the city, $7 round trip, I did not use return however, cab from Union station to IAD was $55, find yourself another way if you can, say Supershuttle. transit time was a little under an hour each way.

If you are just a tourist you will be impressed, if you are an Air & Space buff you will be awestruck. The space shuttle Enterprise, a Concorde, the SR-71 Blackbird are all under one roof. When my office was at IAD all work would stop at 1:30 every afternoon for four years to watch the Concorde take off.
But now that I've seen the SR-71 it replaces the Concorde as the most beautiful airplane I've ever seen!
The new museum is still a-building. It lacks the slick educational presentations of the Air & Space museum in DC. But it has more planes and spacecraft than most countries' airforces.

I haven't been to the U-H yet - I'd be especially interested to hear comparisons between the U-H and the Air Force Musiem at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
