I looked on an old sectional, and it seems that Freeway is the closest
available airport to where we need to be (going to a wedding at the
University Club, 16th st & K st). I wonder if it would be easy enough to
find for an out-of-towner... some friends of ours are driving up for the
wedding as well, and they might be able to give us a lift from the airport
if we coordinate in advance. I'll try calling the FBO tomorrow to see what
they think.

If you're going downtown downtown, almost all the airports are equally
useless (except for the VA ones, they are probably more useless, and
College Park, which is on the metro).

I drive by 16th & K every day to go to work...

Your post says 'in a couple of weeks', so I'll let you know that the
FME runway is going to be closed for resurfacing from approximately
5/10 to 5/22 or thereabouts.

If you're into making multiple public transit jumps, you could try
Suburban (W18) and taxi to MARC Laurel to Union Station and then metro
to... Farragut North maybe? I dunno, still a lot of hopping I guess.
Also, the MARC doesn't run on weekends or in the middle of the day or
any other convienent time. Probably faster to taxi from W18 to
Greenbelt Metro, I suppose.

So your question probably becomes, which is the easiest airport -
Metro transfer?

GAI - Shady Grove
W00 - New Carrolton
W18/FME (they're practically nextdoor) - Greenbelt

IAD - Vienna

On the other point, it looks like the Washington Flyer doesn't
actually go downtown - www.washfly.com.
