I will be on the Lufthansa B-747-8i first inaugural commercial flight from Frankfurt to IAD 1 June doing the turnaround with several hours in between flights.Can't be any better! A brand new aircraft type with a very first commercial flight and a newly installed Space Shuttle at the IAD NASM.We will arrive in the new plane with great fanfare and will be making the news! I am going to be on the turnaround inaugurals FRA-IAD-FRA to give my hommage to the newly installed Space Shuttle Discovery in her new home and I will see my beautiful friend Air France Concorde F-BVFA.How lucky is that!! :-)I am really excited!!!

I will take TONS of pictures thats for sure. Can you basically walk 360 degrees around her? Can you pretty much walk along her right side like you can on the left side? Hard to tell from the web cam what the right side walking area looks like.
Awesome, Thank you so much!!
AMAZING, she was beautiful and I walked around her for over an hour simply in awe. Was so great!!!
Not that I saw, But yeah I was there for about 2 hours and after the IMAX Hubble movie we went back to look at her again and stayed until they closed at 6:30. I was in a trance by her
Was at Udvar Hazy most of the day yeaterday- have a somewhat different "feeling" about Discovery being there. Yes she looks good, but that's the same thing you say when viewing a deceased relative at a funeral home- and that's the feeling I had.Still, I took a lot of pictures and spent a lot of time just standing there looking at her. Frankly, she doesn't belong there- she should be in the OPF getting ready for another mission IMO. I'm ashamed, angry and embarrassed that my country wastes national assets in this manner.
