Virginians: Show your support for the National Air and Space Museum by buying this personalized license plate for your vehicle featuring the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, the world's fastest jet-propelled aircraft!

This official plate was designed to celebrate the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, the Museum's companion facility near Dulles Airport. Opened in 2003, the Udvar-Hazy Center has allowed millions of visitors to see hundreds of artifacts that were in storage and many aviation and space objects too large for display downtown, including the SR-71 Blackbird.

Displaying this license plate on your vehicle is a great way to show your interest in flight and support the Museum at the same time. A portion of the fees from each plate support the Museum. And you don't have to wait until it's time to renew your plates to participate!

To obtain a license plate:

• Visit any Virginia DMV branch office and ask for the "National Air and Space Museum special interest license plate."
• Order online at the Virginia DMV Web site.
