About the pic though...I worked ramp there back when things were good and ACA was still around. That place was awesome right around sunset.

hell, pick a standard language for them to speak, instead of one from every dialect on the planet (and a few i think aren't of this world)

Nothing better than calling inrange and having to not only say your flight number 6 times, but also having to ask them to repeat your gate 6 more. And the rampers..."Tail east" "Tail East?" "Yes tail eas...stop your pushing us tail west..."

There are plenty of other airports nearby to go to depending on which airport you are coming from. Manassas, Leesburg, Culpeper, Warrenton, Charlottesville, Stafford, Shennandoah, Fredrick, Martinsburg, Winchester... I could go on and on.
Im dying to know why you would want to fly a 172 into Dulles?
Where are you flying from?

Point being, flying in busy airspace is very good practice. Flying into -extremely- busy airspace where 95% of the the traffic arriving touches down on the runway faster than you cruise en route... maybe not so good

Yeah... Until you get yelled at and runover by the heavies. We fly Seminoles into MEM on a pretty regular basis and let's just say ATC doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for us. And for some strange reason they think the phrase 'Climb to 5,000 NOW!' makes the poor little twin climb faster...
