It was installed on the wall near the planetarium, at the air & space museum on the mall.

As for the weekends under "consideration" - this is not a well-planned out event. It was more of a spur of the moment thing. It's happening the weekend of 12/8 (most probably, sometime afternoonish on 12/8, to give people coming in from the west coast time to make it.) Not really much "consideration". If you want consideration, planning, and a real DO, I would suggest monitoring the thread in the NW WorldPerks forum, where a real DO is being planned sometime in '08 that will be infinitely cooler. I probably shouldn't even have called this a mini-DO - it's more like someone posted "Hey, this is cool, let's check it out", and me saying "Yes, let's do it. Anyone else who wants to tag along is welcome."

As it is on the mall, DCA is highly recommended over IAD. Udvar-hazy is cool, and is by IAD, but the mini-DO and the nose cone are at the site on the mall, not at Udvar-Hazy.

Sorry to those who can't make it, there will inevitably be some, but this is not at all a full-out DO. It's more like "Hey, something cool was featured in NWA World Traveler this month. Let's go check it out." If you can make it, that's great, if you can't, you're not really missing a huge event. It's some people from FT getting together in a reasonably spur-of-the-moment fashion to look at a piece of a 747, and maybe grab dinner afterwards.
