For the fourth straight year, I attended the International Spy Museum’s Parade of Trabants. There was a lot to see this year, with a Lada, a Barkas, and an FSO showing up in addition to the variety of Trabis. Here’s the pics:

After it ended, I drove to Gravelly Point Park near Reagan Airport, and decided to do some planespotting.

That’s all for now.

Is that the Lada that conquered the Nürburgring?

Upon further inspection, it very well might be! Exact same badges on the rear. I’ll see if the museum knows anything.

Aargh! So sad I missed this again. Lovely little models you brought home, btw.
