Chris - that's the Smithsonian on the mall in DC, not the one in Chantilly, right ? My son and I had the opportunity to visit both last summer, and the one in Chantilly (out by Dulles) is absolutely incredible - it's worth a trip cross-country just on its own merit. They apparently have a Hiller Flying Platform mothballed somewhere in Maryland waiting for restoration.

Along those lines, there's a Hiller museum up your way - www.hiller.org. Have you been there ?

Yes, on the mall. Not only have I not been to the Hiller in the SF area, I've never HEARD of it, despite probably driving past it every week. D'oh.

Thanks for the tip!

You know your getting old when the projects you have worked on end up in the Smithsonian.
Thanks for the pictures.
