4 NATIONAL NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM I SPY - HANGAR BAY ONE Take advantage of the restrooms in the exit area next to the Blue Angel Atrim before leaving the main building to go to Hangar Bay One. After exiting the main building, take note of the Homecoming Exhibit bronze statuary of a family greeting their returning military loved one. Enter Hangar Bay One and look beyond the information Desk for the first stop of this adventure. 1. I spy with my little eye--marine One helicopter that carried the President. It took him from the white House to Andrews Air Force Base, or other places near Washington, D.C. Ask the students: Have you ever watched the news on TV and seen the President getting into a helicopter much like this one with the Marine Guard standing by? 2. I spy with my little eye--this Lunar Module landed the first men on the moon. This is just like the moon landing craft. Also look to the side to see what a lunar rover was like. And if you pay close attention, you will find a little piece of the moon rock and a watch one of the astronauts wore to the moon. 3. I spy with my little eye--a Coast guard helicopter that saves lives. This helicopter has saved over 600 lives. Ask students about how the helicopter and crew go about saving lives and what important work this is along our coast.

5 NATIONAL NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM 4. I spy with my little eye--a very strange plane called Stoof with a Roof. The dome-like top piece of the E-2C Hawkeye is used to detect enemy aircraft and ships at great distance. Its unique propeller designs helps it perform well in all weather. 5. I spy with my little eye--truculent Turtle-- it's a very long-flying plane. This plane flew for over two days (55 hours and 17 mintues). Guess what, it had a baby kangaroo on board named Joey, a gift from the South Perth Zoo to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. This plane wasn't fast but it worked hard to stay in the air for so long. 6. I spy with my little eye--a stateroom on board ship fixed up to feel like a little bit of home. The space for each sailor is small, but they try and make it as comfortable as possible. Ask the students how they would fix up a little room like this? 7. I spy with my little eye--typewriters to strike fighters--women are an important part of Naval Aviation. At one time, women didn"t fly planes in the Navy, they used typewriters and worked in offices. But now they do a lot of different jobs, and some even become pilots. Ask the girls to talk about what they would like to do when they grow up.
