Yup, read thru the entire article twice on our flight this morning. No explicit reference to location in the article but a photo captions shows 747 sections being unloaded "on the Mall". A couple planes in the background seem vaguely family from our visit there (Mall, couldn't make Dulles) a couple years ago.
The Dulles site would be worth the bus ride. Among other things, it contains the only remaining airworthy 307 Stratoliner, re-re-furbished after its swim in Elliot Bay.
