Portal of the Folded Wing, Space Shuttle Memorial
Aviation museum part only opens 1 day a month -- call for current schedule. Park at front for a nice but long walk and view of large fountain or drive right up to the shuttle. The architecture is a real star of this stop -- it's like something out of Europe.

Space Shuttle model memorializes both shuttle tragedies. One side for Challenger and the other for Columbia.
Portal of the Folded Wing is the tomb and memorial of aviation pioneers, including Charlie Taylor, who was the mechanic that built the engine for the Wright bros. plane that flew at Kittyhawk.
