Yep, it's right near Dulles airport....the link I posted was for the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, not the one on the National Mall.

I've not been there, I'll definately have to check it out if I'm ever in Dayton....

I'm a WWII Warbirds fan, but that is a pretty plane. Check this out. This restaurant near where I live used to have a Super Constellation on the roof. It was the bar/cocktail area. It was a huge landmark for the little town. It was taken down and replaced by a gas station.
There is now a little model of the plane on top of the gas station sign... 3' or so in length. :(

After being called Flannery's for a long time it closed and sat empty... It was opened years later as Amelia's. They repainted it an ugly two tone brown, but left the plane intact. That was the only time I was in there. After that place went out of business, it sat empty for a few more years before being dismantled. There is a crane place right across the street, and it sat in pieces in their lot for over a year, 10 feet from the road.
I actually thought it had just been scrapped. I was glad to see it went to a museum.
I have pics of my car in the parking lot after it had closed, but it'd take me forever to find them, since they're in a huge bag of prints (the restaurant was pretty much falling apart at that point). I'll try and dig the pics out and scan them if anyone cares.
