I didn't. I  moderate at a forum, and I spent the morning going after a
spammer. I didn't leave the house until 2 p.m. It was a nice day, so I
went over the National Airport. By the time I got there, everyone had
left. Oh, well, it was a nice day for a bike ride.

It turns out that the trip was worth, because on the way back I saw
N733UW parked at the North Terminal.

Because I was on a bicycle, I was able to go over medians and through
flower beds to get a good look at it. Who else saw it?

The airpot is not bicycle-friendly, so I ended up walking my bicycle
through the main part of the airport to get to the south side. The oldest
portion of the airport is deserted. You could get a good game of inline
hockey going in what used to be the main waiting room. I stopped to look
at some old pictures. As I was studying them, a MWAA cop walked right by
without saying a work. I can only concluded walking a bicycle through the
airport is not at all unusual. Scan-DCists who are members of al Qaeda,
take note.

As I was leaving the airport, a USCG HH-65 departed. I'm sorry I missed
everybody. Maybe next time.
