Id imagine there already have been posts on it, but oh well. Anyone know if it's accessible by GA aircraft? yes, it's at Washington Dulles International Airport. |

yes, it's at Washington Dulles International Airport. That don't mean that you can taxi to the museum, though! Read the whole thread! |

The FBO's are two an a half miles from the museum (probably closer to four if you measure the distance you'd have to drive). The Smithsonian has designated their taxiway as "towed aircraft only" access. |

Does that mean we can stop the engine and pull the sucker over to the museum parking lot? {;-) Jim "Ron Natalie" shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -The Smithsonian has designated their taxiway as "towed aircraft -only" access.

wrote: Does anyone else find it appallingly ironic that many (most?) of the big aviation museums are not accessible by aircraft? Yes --doubly so because this place is located adjacent to an airport. I think the Smithsonian could have a wonderful annual event if they'd merely sponsor a fly-in of some sort. Of course, we private aviators are so politically incorrect these days, that maybe they think we should all just walk around the museum and forget how so many of the gee whiz aircraft of yesteryear came to be...
