Enterprise Space Shuttle - This one never went into space. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield and therefore not capable of spaceflight. Originally it was going to be named Constitution. However, Star Trek fans started a write-in campaign urging the White House to instead select the name of the starship that James T. Kirk captained in the original TV series.

British Aerospace/Aerospatiale Concorde 1976, one of 4 Concordes ever built.
First commercial passenger planes ever in regular service that could fly faster than the speed of sound.
These could fly more than twice the Speed Of Sound. 2 Concords eventually crashed and the other 2 are retired.

Trump Tower - President Donald Trump and his family lived here before moving into the White House.
Due to the number of streets that have to be blocked and the disruption of traffic, President Trump
rarely comes here anymore, but his family still uses the residence in this tower regularly.
