Remarks: The Spirit of St. Louis is but one of the many gems to be found at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Remarks: This X-15 obtained Mach 6.72 at an altitude of 108km! Hard to believe it was designed in the 50's! Aerospace engineering at its best!

Remarks: My take on the seemingly obligatory shot of the Spirit of St. Louis at the National Air and Space Museum.
