Please do!

They are gonna move the J58 to the Smithsonian in DC, so you better hurry if you want to spend inordinate amounts of time drooling at it.

I’m about 20-25 and was there Saturday for the outdoor exhibit. We go every other month or so with the kiddos.

It was a one day only thing! Had a Boeing 777 to tour, a c-17, a bunch of Cesna sized planes, the airport fire truck and snow plow. It was pretty neat, but Damn it gets sunny out there.
