CDC 3800767 viewsThe Control Data Corp. 3800 was a 1960's-era computer which Cathy's dad was on the development team for. We were looking for this computer in the American History museum with the computers earlier in this page, but were surprised to find it at the Udvar-Hazy center. It was used for satellite tracking by the Air Force.

Udvar-Hazy Center: National Air and Space Museum627 viewsOne of the hilights of our trip was visiting the National Air and Space Museum's new Udvar-Hazy center.
