dca makes an effort to take off south, and land north. more money up north, planes make less noise landing.

the only interesting sites are north and east of dca. so sit on the port side and plan on a north to south landing. sit on the starboard side taking off and hope for enough wind from the north to force a takeoff to the north.

by the way, if you sit opposite, you have an excellent opportunity to see my house and pier, which is to the south east of dca by about 7 miles.
