I'm probably going to be going to Udvar-Hazy around midday on Sunday (after the comcom meeting on Sunday morning, before I fly out fairly early on Monday), returning to Washington when it closes at ~6.30pm. If anyone else is interested in going at these times, let me know.
It looks like the easiest way to get there via public transport is the Metrobus to Dulles (http://www.wmata.com/bus/ - 5A, from L'enfant Plaza to Dulles), and then there's a Loudon bus from Dulles to the Air and Space museum (route 83, http://www.vatransit.org/) - and back the same way.
Thanks, Mike

Id planned to do that on my way to the airport on Monday, but it seems that they dont have a facility to leave luggage.
there are at least two other people who want to go to the Air & Space Museum near the airport and I also have a flight on Monday evening and want to take my stuff to the airport, leave it somewhere there, see the museum, come back in the afternoon and check the luggage in.

Local tip: You should definitely consider tagging along together with Rehman and going to the Udvar-Hazy.
Its worth the trip out to Dulles, and perhaps may be something worth considering on the morning that you may leave for your flight, if your schedule allows. (The museum is located on the grounds of Dulles airport, but you do not have to drive into the main airport parking, etc., to get there, the entrance is elsewhere.)

I plan on visiting there hopefully on the 15th before I leave back to Colombo. Its basically the bigger part of the Air & Space Museum which most of us know in DC, and houses the Space Shuttle Discovery (YEAH!), SR71 Blackbird, Gemini 7, the B29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, a Concorde, and tons more.
