The Center’s more than 346,000-square-foot exhibit space features thousands of iconic spacecraft and aircraft outlining the history of aviation. Artifacts include Space Shuttle Discovery, an Air France Concorde, the B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, and the last remaining World War I-era Sopwith Camel.
