    Drove to IAD

    Went down today and was parked by the Exxon Station by the Fire Station and saw many good departures from RWY 1. However must say a very strange setup for an airport

    Maybe that is what the problem is: that it is simple and not complicated as our airports up here !!!!!!!!!!! Driving back home ran into 2 good areas of t-storms and while driving on 95 between DCA/BWI drove through a bad microburs and/or tornado ??? by Laurel Md.

    How the hell did you end up driving by Laurel MD going from IAD to NJ? :)

    This is like driving from BWI to JFK via Allentown PA :)

    From 66 I always go 395 north, through the tunnel under the city and then follow signs for 95, or if you are stopping at BWI take the Balt-Wash Parkway
