It's always a little sad to me to see airplanes in a museum, especially if they are just static displays, and no longer flying.
Also, it seemed like a good idea to keep all the museum shots in the same category, because most of them were taken in low light, and consequently, they suck.
Rutan Aircraft Factory Solitaire

This rare and beautiful sailplane design is probably destined for the museum -- they have it in their restoration area.
I am probably increasing the number of Solitaire pictures on the internet by a significant degree just by posting these.
More info here.
The Bugatti and A Bugatti
August 4, 2006
This one is actually a decent picture
bluuuuur, should probably remove this one.
The Bugatti is an Airplane, and the only one built, hence the The. A bugatti is a race car.
Both artifacts are very pretty.
Curtis Hawk, P-6E

I like these, especially in the requisite hawk paint scheme.
Williams V-Jet II

Another Rutan design, of course.
Spaceship One Display

They got the Spaceship One display finished in time for this year's show. Nicely done too, although I missed the flipping up of the tail, which they do a few times a day.
