Where is Udvar-Hazy?

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.

See http://www.alexisparkinn.com/DullesFromKeyhole.jpg

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

Thanks,

I may be wrong from memory, but isn't it off the bottom of the page (if
north is to the top)? It seems like a haul from the terminal based on
what I saw from the Hazy observation deck....

Kind of like OSH taxiing!

Jay,
the annex has a taxi way extension from Juliet (if memory serves me
correctly). The taxi way is there it is just which one I cannot
remember. You basically taxi to 1R and keep going strait.
It may be on the airport diagram.

Smithsonian Hat ON

Just so everyone knows Jay is coming in for part of a special event.
"Reach for the Sky: Become a Pilot" Family Day and Aviation Display on
June 11th. The museum doesn't have a "Taxiway" but rather a "Tow Road"
that can be used to taxi in for special events. There are two locked
gates between the airport and the museum.

I think most people wish we could just taxi down to the museum and it's
my understanding that was the original plan, but that was pre 9/11. One
of the building guys said the original plan had an airside pilot lounge
(of course that would probably have been the last thing built and the
maintenance facility and archives still aren't fully funded)

Reminds me of the joke about the Bonanza salesman that was trying to
sell the Cessna 180 owner/rancher on the virtures of the low wing.
Finally, the rancher tells the sales man, "If you can follow me to my
hangar, I'll buy your Bonanza."
The salesman taxis out and takes off behind the 180, following the
rancher to his private airstrip. After landing the salesman thinks the
sale is in the bag, until he comes to the taxiway leading to the hangar.
His jaw drops as he watches the 180 taxi through a gap in the barbed
wire fence between two fence posts, the high wings easily clearing the
tops of the tall posts.

Jay, it's right he http://www.nasm.si.edu/visit/directions_uhc.cfm

(But you don't have to know where it is before you take a taxi to it.
Though you might want to ensure that the cabbie knows! New York is
infested with cabbies for whom both the city and the language is a
mystery.)

(And if you get a DC cab, settle the fare in advance. They don't use
meters in DC so that the Congress can set fares totheir advantage. VA
bans them from picking up fares, at least at Washington National, but
the cabbies used to hang around pretending to adjust things in the
trunk. Travelers in the know would get a cheap trip back into town.)

Jay,

Make sure you know the location of P-40/R-4009 (Camp David) when you are
coming in from the North.

Is this going to be a Taylorcraft trip?
