This is a part of what used to be, back in the day, the main terminal of National Airport. A traveler could see the (prop) planes taxi up to the curved wall of windows here and watch the passengers debark down the metal stairs that were rolled up to the plane door for that purpose. I still remember newspaper pictures of those long-haired "mop tops", the Beatles, coming down those metal stairs for their first concerts in the U.S. I like this part of National. It is now just one part to pass through between the parking garage and the terminals for Delta and NorthWest.

Stumble It!
