The call came in late Thursday – there was a cancellation, so would we be able/interested in coming off the alternates list and joining "Be a Pilot Day" at the National Air & Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center? You bet!
The only trick was to get from Boston to Dulles by 0830 Saturday morning, but with an RV-10 and a helpful tailwind – no problem! Builders Steve Stella and Aycan "John" Gencoglu and his daughter joined up for a beautiful weather day down to DC.
The only downside was the 50 minutes of taxiing and waiting to depart, but that goes with the territory.
It's a fun event they have there at NASM. If you're interested for a future year, they start accepting aircraft applications around Feb 1 each year. http://becomeapilot.si.edu/

Yeah, I did that with my Pietenpol a couple of years ago. I'm probably the only pilot in history to request and get permission to back taxi on runway 19 at IAD (the tower was happy to have me back taxi 200 feet rather than wait for me to taxi a mile to the next turnoff). Lot's of fun!
