The National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center welcomed its five millionth visitor during a family day celebrating the Wright Brothers Saturday Dec. 8. Quinn Neibergall from Alexandria, who came to the museum with his parents and grandparents, was the lucky five millionth visitor. They received VIP treatment all day—including a golf cart tour of the museum, a gift basket from the museum store, free tickets to IMAX theater performances, one-year membership in the National Air and Space Society, two Northwest Airlines tickets to anywhere in the U.S., and a weekend evening stay at the Hilton Washington Dulles. Quinn’s dad, Gordon Neibergall, is a U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot assigned to the Pentagon.

The Udvar-Hazy Center, the companion facility to the museum’s flagship building on the National Mall in Washington, opened Dec. 15, 2003 and was an immediate hit with the public, attracting nearly 220,000 visitors in its first two weeks of operation. It houses 153 aircraft, 148 large space artifacts; more than 1,500 smaller items, including such rare aircraft as a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the world’s fastest jet; the Concorde; and the space shuttle Enterprise. Admission is free, but there is a $12 fee for daily parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center.
