I've been using the trial version of Keyhole (a VERY cool program,
available for download at http://www.keyhole.com/) to explore Dulles
International, in a vain attempt to figure out how in the world I'm
supposed to taxi to the Udvar-Hazy Center.


Can any of you DC-ites tell me where, on that photo, the Center is?


The road that connects U-H to Route 28 (which goes up the eastern
edge of the IAD property) passes just south of the approach end
of runway 1R. The U-H building is just to the west of the extended
centerline of taxiway J.

I've never checked, but looking at the taxi chart I would put the
lat/long coordinates for the museum somewhere around 38d55mN,
77d26.7mW.

Go to maps.google.com, locate the southeast corner of the Dulles
property, and ask for the satellite photo. It's a bit dated (still
showing the U-H under construction, and still showing the old
(nonpublic) Gate 4 access road, but it clearly shows where the
museum is located relative to the runways.

And no, I don't know what the taxi path would be to get there. I
was busy doing an astronomy dog-and-pony exhibit there a couple
of months ago and overheard a comment that anything being brought
to the building was by policy under tow (i.e., no taxiing on your
own) but that shouldn't be considered an authoratative statement
of how things are done there, but if it's correct the path to
the museum would not show up on any taxi chart.
