Tips on Flying to Dulles

There's no need to stop anywhere. File the plan from home. Pick an
entry point outside the ADIZ (the briefer will give you choices -
typically a VOR or intersection) and an entry time.

Jay's going to be like seven hours in the air from the time he leaves
Iowa City until he hits the ADIZ. I wouldn't want to bet on hitting
the ptime that far out.

Some places to consider stoping: MGW (this is probably about an hour
and a half west). Food on the field, nice airport. MRB has food I
believe (in what used to be the Flight Circus Station there) and is
just outside the ADIZ...I can give a few other restaurants that are
a little off your route of flight.

Destination Direct says 4 hours, 41 minutes, in a no-wind situation. I
expect I'll have a tailwind heading toward the vacuum, er, I mean, heading
toward Washington, D.C. ;-)

With the kids, though, I'll still want to stop for brunch and a potty break
somewhere with a good on-field restaurant.

Jay,

What you don't know yet is ATC will also already have your tail number,
name, where you are coming from, expected time of arrival and parking
arrangements. (I'll be sending an email out probably late next week).
I'm waiting to hear back from ATC what else they want. I don't know if
I'll need your mother's maiden name or not. This event is being run
VERY conservatively!!
