Potomac TRACON told Margy they're going to put on extra controllers
for her event. Further information to the "invited guests" will no
doubt be forthcoming (otherwise they aren't going to let you taxi
anywhere near where you want to go).


I must have missed the memo. Where can I get the details of this event?

The display is for INVITED AIRCRAFT ONLY, the last thing I want to do is
foul up ATC for the day and make it difficult to plan another event. ATC
is talking about adding a TRACON controller for the "other people who
hear about this and want to park at the FBOs and who fly into HEF and
JYO. I told ATC if I heard about other folks planning on coming in I
would let them know, but I haven't heard of any yet.

There will be about 30 aircraft on the ramp at the Udvar-Hazy center
ranging in type from a pair of Harriers to a Staggerwing (if everything
works out as planned today!). This is the first time planes will taxi
down to the museum and it will be perfect!! (please pray for perfect
weather).

The day includes much more than just the aviation display part an will
be a great event even if the weather doesn't come through for us. There
will be activities for museum visitors inside as well.
