Closing on Jan. 9 will be the wing containing exhibits on air transport, which include relics from the earliest days of mail delivery and the forward fuselage of a 1950s-era DC-7 airliner. The wing will reopen in 2007 with a new exhibit called "America by Air,"= a history of commercial air travel from the earliest airlines to the present. While the area is closed, planes will still be visible over the barriers on the first floor and from the gallery on the second floor. --------------= -------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2005 AP
