Some fun with the Nikon 10.5 fisheye and Nikon Capture

It looks to me like its might be their new facility out near Dulles airport.

BTW, the Smith's "Paul E Garber Aircraft Restoration Facility" in Maryland is worth a visit for any propeller head - - just be aware that tours are limited and reservations are mandatory ... and that viewing the facility can be both depressing and fascinating at the same time (a lot of stuff is in really bad shape). Because some hangers are completely off-limits to visitors, they only let you peek in the doors, so I'd bring a fast telephoto in addition to a WA.

Right you are! Sorry, thought I answered the question, but must have been in another thread. The Dulles facility is known as the Udvar-Hazy Center. It was built to answer crowding of exhibits at the National Air & Space Museum in DC. Also to make it easier to have larger aircraft like the Shuttle, the Boeing 707, and the Concord. The location at Dulles allows aircraft to flown in for final restoration and display. It mirrors the original design concept of Dulles Airport, in that as space is needed the it could be extended.

I last visited the Garber Facility just before it closed temporarily in preparation of moving some exhibits to the Udvar-Hazy. It was a great feeling to see some of the pieces I saw being restored on final display.
