Visitors to the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven. F Udvar-Hazy Center were able to look at the plane Sunday afternoon. The Solar Impulse team said a second viewing was possible this week.
I want to take my kids to see the plane. Anybody know when the second viewing will be possible?

What are you going to say to them?
"You too could build something like this if you didn't get your education from the FCPS."

Whats wrong with FCPS? I always find it odd when people act like FCPS is an underperforming school district.
You should see how well the schools are doing in Stafford. News flash they suck. Follow up story, FCPS is not only known nationally but people actually move to Fairfax so that their kids can be in the FCPS system.
Don't let that get in the way of your snide inaccurate comment though

How much time do you have?

Underperforming compared to what? Most school districts are underperforming. FCPS is no different. Public education in this nation is falling behind and FCPS is no exception.

Great. Your standard of comparison is some backwoods county that recently got running water. FCPS must be so proud to be better than them.

And they are fools. They are being sold a bill of goods that isn't what they claim to be. Ask yourself this: how many high schools in the county would you NOT send your child(ren) to?
The only locality worth moving to in this area strictly for the schools is Falls Church.

Hardly inaccurate.
