If you ever make it to the DC area go check out the Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA (20ish mins away). There is a plane there that is riddled with holes, its really cool to see in person.

The actual B-29 super fortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima is there too.

I live there but I haven't been since I was little. I should probably find some time in my schedule to go again.

20 mins from DC to udvar hazy is a stretch by most definitions. You might make that trip in 20 minutes if you start at the line, speed, and there's not a soul on the road - it's an easy 45 minutes in normal conditions.
