Just got home from DC tonight, and figured Id pass along the 411 on
this place. 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.

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? {;-)

I'll ask Margy. It's not that far from the end of the Movement area to museum.

If you want to pull that plane two and a half miles to the museum, they'd probably
let you park there!

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

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...

According to AOPA, they're planning to allow four flyin days a year.

It's on adjacent to the airport, it is ON the airport. When Margy calls me
from work it shows up in the caller ID as the airport.
