Flying into IAD to visit Udvar-Hazy

Post by Iceman07 »

Anybody here done it in a GA aircraft lately?

I have heard rumours about exorbitant fees (landing, security, etc), but can't verify them.

Also, I have a book, that mentions that when flying around Titusville Fl (TIX) you can call NASA tower and request a "Shuttle Tour" (if there is no activity, of course) and they will let you fly a low approach over the Shuttle landing facility. (This is from "The $100 hamburger" second edition, page 88). Has anybody tried this since 9/11?

Is this the $100 hamburger that comes in a toothpaste-tube? :lol:

Remarks at AirNav.com imply that Signature is the preferred FBO and will waive fees in return for a fuel purchase. I suggest you call them directly or try the website for Signature to get the latest info. (or better yet, go to Manassas.)
