You guys do a wonderful job down there at the Museum. It's a fabulous
place. The one complaint I had on our visit there some years ago were
the outrageous prices of the hot dogs the vendors were charging outside
on the street, but I was one hungry camper and those dogs smelled SO
good I had to have one.....make that two I think!! :-))
That's downtown, I'm out at the Udvar-Hazy Center where there is the
most expensive McDonald's in Virginia or you can get back in your car
and drive 5-10 minutes for real food. Actually in the past few years a
number of hotels and food places have opened up near the museum so
weekend hotel rates have come way down.

Tell Ron I sympathize with him on the cooking. I've learned to cook
fairly well myself. My wife has been down for many months now with a
terrible Sciatic Nerve issue and I've taken over the kitchen duties.
She says at least I haven't killed anyone with my cooking yet.
:-)
Best of luck with the Fly-In.

Thanks, I'll need it. Every year it's gotten bigger and better so now
everyone's looking at me and saying, "so what do you have in store for
this year"! The date this year is June 14th. Anyone out there who has
something they might want to bring in, let me know at my work address
which is my last name and first initial (nataliem) atsign (si.edu) or
register on the web page. http://www.nasm.si.edu/becomeapilot/ Last
year I ended up with 59 aircraft and the only things I had duplicates of
were a pair of F-16's and a pair of SNJs. I had everything from a
motorglider to a C-17. It was a blast!
