Where did you see that it was going to be moved? Last I'd heard Walton had decided to leave it in place at Paine (I only live a few miles away from Paine Field)?

I believe that the Smithsonian Air and Space on the Mall has fully reopened - I'm a member of the Smithsonian and got an email to that effect not too long ago. Timed entry passes are required however, so go to their website ahead of time.

About 25 years ago, I was heading to a big race at Road America, Wisconsin with my wife and her sister. Driving a small motorhome pulling the racing trailer so my pace was somewhat relaxed
. Following Interstate 90, we stopped in Montana for the night, started in again at 8am. Drove a solid 12 hours before I again called it a night and we found a place to park - we were still in Montana.
