[Scan-DC] Arsenal for Democracy flyover this Friday at 12:15 PM

[Greg Danes]

​Areas for observing Arsenal for Democracy flight. Downtown is OK if you
work there. I was thinking about their turn down the river and came up with
Orinoco park in Old Town. You can take the Metro to King St. then a free
trolley to the Torpedo factory on Union. The park is a block away from
there, wide open by the river and within view of the area they will turn
south. Plus its big and has many vantage points for camera setups. Just a
thought.
