Washington DC My Favorite Place

Washington DC is one of my favorite places because it is the home to the national air and space museum. Here are some of the most famous aircraft in aviation history including the Bell X-1 which was the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. There is so much history not only rooted in this one museum that not only celebrates human accomplishments but also engineering accomplishments. But also all of Washington DC is surrounded in amazing history, but this museum is particularly special for me.

    Oh, what a great picture, David! And as a connection to the world of Indian Epics, I have to mention the fabulous flying pushpaka which you will see zooming across the skies in the Ramayana: Pushpaka Vimana at Wikipedia.
    With image sources, it helps to include a link to the page with the image, and that way your readers can find out more; like with Flickr pages, for example, that can lead them to other photos by the same photographer, and to learn more about the image: Pedro Szekely at Flickr (like the way he stitched this together so many separate photos; no wonder it looks so cool!)

Hi my name is David Walsh! I am an Aviation Pro-Pilot major and I plan on graduating this December! The coolest thing about my major is that I get to fly airplanes almost everyday! I even got to fly OU's King Air which the university uses for flights to transport faculty and staff including Football players and coaches. I got to fly the defensive coordinator on one of these flights for work, which was an awesome experience! King Air Photo Taken By Myself Some of my biggest accomplishments last semester (the spring) were getting my Multi engine instructors license and hitting 800 hours of total flight time. Bringing me 200 away from the 1000 hours I need to go to the airlines. My career aspirations are to become an airline pilot with American Airlines!

As for hobbies I love to cook! I
