[Scan-DC] NASA T-38 jets to fly low over D.C. next month

They should already have this information, stored on 5.25" floppy discs. If those are high-density discs, they'll have to find a drive that can handle them.

Watch Space Shuttle Discovery Arrive in DC Area on April 17

Be sure to put Tuesday morning, April 17 on your calendar, and get outside to watch for flyovers of the space shuttle Discovery, as it arrives to its new home, the National Air and Space Museum's (NASM) Dulles location; the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The shuttle will land at 11:00AM at Dulles Airport; making flyovers around the city in the hour or so before.

Area residents may remember when the prototype shuttle Enterprise arrived in 1985, flying around the Beltway to the delight of all who saw it, including myself. This arrival will offer similar views, however the exact path will not be released in advance.

The best view for the landing will be in the NASM's parking lot. The museum advises people to arrive early to get in--the lot opens at 8:00 AM, but cars will line up much earlier.

It's scheduled to arrive there later this month. Talk about a photo op...
