    Look what’s arrived in the shop for a tune up. 👀 If you see Poe Dameron around, let him know work on his X-wing is coming along nicely, and it'll be ready for display soon. #StarWars #MayThe4thBeWithYoupic.twitter.com/Ppcj1ADPmw

        Used in filming of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” this full-sized X-wing Starfighter is undergoing conservation in our Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar and will go on display at the Museum in DC in 2022.

        What is the real world aircraft in the background? Looks like a B-25 maybe?

        My question too! I think maybe a B-26. Looking at the trail, the mounts for the horizontal stabilizers are angled up. The B25 I think has a flatter section.

        Is this visible from the restoration overlook? When udvar hazy opens would love to see it, even from a distance

        Yes, the X-wing will be visible from the restoration hangar overlook once we reopen tomorrow. Full details on how to visit, including how to get free timed entry passes:https://airandspace.si.edu/udvar-hazy-center …
