I will be once again display my Sierra at the National Air and Space Become a Pilot Day, at Dulles Airport Udvar Hazy Center of the Smithsonian. This event brings out a lot of guests (15,000 or so) interested in flying of all types. This is a great way to visit lots of aircraft, ancient to modern military. If anyone is interested in spending the day helping and talking to the visitors at my plane drop me a message. Anyone else looking to share aviation with your friends just make a point of stopping in to say Hi.
 
Wish I could be there with you, Paul! I've never flown into a Bravo field, and I bet Dulles would be quite a treat!

Dulles is great fun. Good practice with Airport Diagrams!! They often require 3 different ground controllers alone just to get taxi done, but really friendly and helpful . My favorite day was leading my friend around in a 1911 Curtiss pusher. They were glad to tell that 35 knot airplane "squeak 1200 service terminated"!
 
Thanks for stopping in and helping with this great event that opens up the world of general aviation to so many people.
