Non spotting week in Washington area

[Jeff]

Something a bit different to the norm, not sure if it will work or not so your thoughts would be appreciated.

The myself and my lovely wife left for Washington on May 1st onboard the VS021 G-VRAY for the trip across the pond which was as usual a lovely smooth flight with great service and food (I could of course be a bit biased here though..lol)


We opted for an Uber to our hotel, first time Ive used an Uber and tbh was very impressed. Cost was $45 for the 35 min trip. We stayed at a hotel called the “AKA White House” which was literally a stone’s throw from the real White house, after dumping our cases off at what was rather a well-equipped room ( washing machine, tumble drier, dish washer, cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, 2 bathroom and a huge bed) we had a quick walk to the White house and Washington monument to get my bearings and some aircraft


Our first full Day in Washington dawned on the 2nd, the forecast cloudy and rain proved very inaccurate and skies were blue, breakfast in the adjacent McDonald done we were at the WW2 Memorial by 07.30. After a few mins there we started he hear the strains of a bagpipe, from the opposite side of the memorial a crowd of veterans in Yellow T shirts appeared behind a fully dressed piper, a service then took place which was accompanied by 8 current service personnel again in full military dress.

we continued to the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool logging aircraft via FR24 and Planefinder on the phone taking screen shots of every movement, these it turns out were quite numerous as the aircraft were taking off over the Mall. We continued walking past the Korean war memorial and the Martyn Luther king memorial and around the tidal basin towards the Thomas Jefferson memorial. Along with departures from DCA there were quite a few helicopters including a couple of sightings of Presidential Sea Kings which unfortunately weren’t tracking, I did however manage to get a Reg for a Presidential Bell 212 (69-6655) we continued around back to the Washington Mall where a visit was paid to the Air and Space museum. This was currently under refurbishment and some items were fenced off. We were now down by Capitol Hill and aircraft were now harder to see but still managed a few. After Capital Hill it was home via the White house with a total of 29k steps logged in 31c temperatures.

Day 2

We walked to the Vietnam Wall of remembrance and then on over the Potomac on the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the Arlington Cemetery. This is, for those who haven’t been, a sombre and very moving place, those who served their county are honoured in an area that is both peaceful and respect full. We waited for the changing of the guard at the unknown soldier. Again Aircraft landing were viewable t all times although it didn’t seem right to do so in such a place

We opted to return the the Mall by Metro as the temperatures were again in the 30’s. After lunch we did the native American museum which threw up a surprise in the Form of a tomahawk cruise missile !!

Then Natural History museum then back to hotel


Day 3

Day 3 and we went to pick up the hire car for the 5 hour drive to Pembroke and a 2 night stay at Mountain Lodge, an uneventful trip on fantastic roads on which there was hardly any traffic. We did stop for lunch at a Truck stop that had parking for 600 tractor trailers and was pretty much full and quite impressive. We turned off the interstate and started the 7 mile climb 4000ft up a windy road finally emerging near the top at Mountain Lake Lodge, (Kellermans) or if you still haven’t got it, the hotel in “Dirty Dancing” Beautiful setting with lots of wildlife, birds, chipmunks, frogs and even humming birds. This was the wifey bit of the holiday and as such not much aviation to be seen. Above the clouds though we seemed to be right under a North /South airway which had lots of Canadian airlines travelling along it for reference.

Day 6 was the return drive back to IAD to stay at the Fairfield Inn Suites in Chantilly. One can only describe this place as being like the Green Man Pub near LHR such was the proximity on the landing traffic. There was a small seating area out the back by the indoor pools where otts, inbound DCA and of course inbound IAD traffic could be seen ,lots were made here.
Last day we got up and did some more spotting from the hotel before making our way to the Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian museum, again if you haven't been this is a must do museum if your in the area. Free entry but 15 dollar parking,

From here it was onto the airport to check in for the VS22 G-VINE and home to the rain

A fantastic report Jeff and the style certainly worked for me. Your non aircraft shots brought back many fond and reflective memories for me - I spent a month in Alexandria in 2011 - just a few miles downstream from DC but only about 3 miles from touchdown at Washington National. Yes I too felt a sense of guilt with one eye on the various memorials and the other on aircraft on low approach to National.

Did you do the National Postal Museum by the station - just behind Capitol Hill? - there are 3 aircraft there - nothing special unless you're into antiques. Also in DC is the Navy Yard which contains the National Museum of the USN - only 2 aircraft IIRC but for me the experience was touching the diving Bell Trieste (I think it was called) that went 7 miles down to the bottom of the Marianas trench.

If you ever visit again, I would highly recommend hiring a car and exploring all the aviation museums just south of DC. One of the best is the US Marine Corps museum at Quantico - probably about 20 miles from DC. It's a very modern but well planned museum with about 20 aircraft. Just a little further south and there are numerous museums in the Richmond/Hampton areas - mostly Army/Navy or private. About 5 miles south of Hampton as you head underwater (the tunnel) you catch a good view of Norfolk Naval Base - usually it has 5-6 CVN/LPA/LPD etc and a few miles on you are at Virginia Beach - right underneath the flightpath into Oceana NAS. Oceana has a good display of ex USN aircraft as does Norfolk NAS and there is also another aviation museum at Virginia Beach.

The Oceana airshow in September is a good place to go if you want to bag 150+ Hornets - though we took a break on our way back to DC - I reckon it's no more than a 2-3 hour drive direct.
Regards
Keith

PS: I should have added that many of the museums in Virginia have great shopping malls close by so it's a win win as long as you're happy to let the missus loose with the plastic - most of the museums are free!

Hi Jeff,

So would you say that Uber were good as I'm off to the balloons @ Albuquerque in October via a few days in San Francisco and we were thinking of using them as it's the only part of our trip that we won't have a rental car,your comments would be most appreciated.

Great report and photos Jeff, brought back loads of memories. Myself and two colleagues used Uber in London in April, gave them a call, a guy in an E series Mercedes picked us up at the Excel Centre in the old Docklands and took us right across town to Paddington for a fixed price of £26. Took us nearly an hour, I cant imagine what it would have cost in a black cab.

Thanks for the feed back, kieth we only had 2 days in DC so saw what we could on foot, these were long days, out by 7am back at dark, however we have done the sights now so a return my see us going further afield.

Dave the Ubers are fantantasic in Washington, the app uses the GPS on your phone and is also linked to you debit card. On opening your app it asks you where you want to go, simply type in your destination and it will give you a price a time of arrival, the name of driver, his registration number and a map showing where he is. No money changes hands, the fee comes directly off your card. However saying that, for my own amusement I did see how much an uber would be from my mountain top hotel to IAD, no cars avail!!!.... I'm guessing from this that cities airports etc are well covered but if your in the sticks it maybe a bit hit and miss
