and the airplane is also at the Smithsonian now. It's at the one out by
Dulles, not the one downtown.

No, the new Udvar-Hazy center...massive place, right down the road from Dulles
airport. Free admission ($12 parking). More of an "airplane nut"
place...planes basically just parked, no dioramas or superfluous stuff. More
emphasis on lesser-known aircraft.

They've also got some of Patty Wagstaff's stuff....

No, Garber is now closed to the public. Bob Hoover's plane is on display
at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center on the south end of IAD (Dulles
airport). Check out the event schedule for the June 17th "Reach for the
Sky: Become a Pilot" family day and aviation display. I'll be the one
running around like a chicken without a head.
