Don't rely on eating at Camden Yard. It's expensive and not very good. That's how they make money. I'm not sure if they still have them But NASA has open houses once a month on Sat or Sun. Also in SUitland is a museum open to the public by appt only. They repair old aiplanes for museums.

I would love to join one day or for dinner. Haven't checked this forum in a while due to being out of town but I am very interested in a FlyerTalk get together here in my "new" home.

However, these things will require driving. So, before I check around on them, who will have a car?

My Honda Accord will be available.
I also think the Suitland, MD aircraft restoration shop mentioned earlier is the "Garber facility" of the Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum, which is opened for tours one weekend a year or by appointment.

So, it looks like we have three cars, plus mine, and maybe a fourth for 16 people. If we get the fourth, I'd be okay with it, but let's put it like this. While I technically can carry four people in my car, if you folks think coach seating is bad, you haven't been in the back seat of my car.

Exactly. 3 Adults in the back of my Ford Escort is not a Good Thing(tm).

It doesn't look like we will have enough vehicles to do the little trip on Saturday. I'll find something that works that's in the city so that folks can take the Metro there or something like that.
