If my memory of history is correct, the space shuttle Enterprise (pictured here) was so named from a massive write-in from Star Trek fans, as it was originally to be named something else.
The shuttle is currently parked at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum (no, I don't know how to pronounce his name, it's Hungarian so for all I know it's pronounced "Pickled Mouse")
In any case, it's difficult to capture such a huge vehicle in all its glory, especially with massive crowds around, but I did the best I could.
Can you believe the people at the museum don't allow photographers inside the shuttle? Totally rude ;-)
You are looking at a bit of history here, it's an Arado AR 234, the world's first jet-powered bomber.
The most famous commercial jet ever, as taken through a 10mm ultra-wide lens, which lengthens the fuselage and shortens the wings, creating something akin to the orbiter from 2001 a Space Odyssey.
Relics of the Cold War. A MiG 15, and in the left side background, the tail of Corsair/Crusader.

Actually it's seapurses, aka skate eggs. From my trip. I have several more shots from my trip, but the next set will be from another trip I made, which was far more interesting.
So I realize it's still easier to load images here and talk about them than on my main website, so here is a recent one, a nice contrast to the one just below it I think.
