I ask the wisdom of the group which is the best airport to use?

We used Frederick, and enjoyed it immensely. *Tour AOPA headquarters while
you're there, and don't miss the crab cakes at the on-field restaurant!

If you want to get even closer, flying into Dulles (and the ADIZ) is really
no big deal, and they have a very nice FBO. * They've probably never seen an
Apache before, though. *(They asked me what those big Ginsu knives were on
the front of my little airplane...)

I second Frederick.
The Metro station is several block walk or the FBO will give you a ride.
I have pros and cons for lodging outside DC and inside DC.

Dennis...be aware of the distinction between the DC area
subway...called the Metro, and commuter buses/rail. There is no Metro
station all the way out in Frederick but I'm sure there is a commuter
bus/rail that others are referring to that will take you to DC or to a
Metro stop (probably in Rockville).
