Udvar-Hazy is much like I envision pilot heaven.

I'm still angry that they named the one Shuttle that would never fly in space "Enterprise". Who made that call?!?!?

Well, it was intended that it would be retrofitted for spaceflight (the version as it stands has no heat shield or engines), and would be the 2nd launch (behind Columbia), but a late-cycle design change made that impractical.
 
I'm surprised (and glad) NASA didn't come in and make them remove the worm logo. Surprised mainly because they were so thorough in hiding the existence of it 10 years ago. We were actually given stickers to cover up non-removable worms.
