They do (did?) send you up the Anacostia when you're circling to 33 and the plane on 1 takes forever to get off the ground. They are going up the Potomac, so you get the Anacostia! Had to clarify twice to make sure we weren't gonna get some unwanted attention from the military. But yeah, DCA is way different than LGA, PWM, PHL, or any of the other charter visuals.
