For what it's worth, my son flew out of BWI this past Tuesday evening. His wait in the general security line (no pre check, no Clear) was only 7 minutes. Hope all goes well for you.

Such a beautiful place! Here's a Muir Woods shot from last year. Not as pretty as your but still a nice memory for me.

The fully restored original model of NCC-1701 USS Enterprise from the original series of Star Trek. Housed in a glass display case in the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.

If you’re ever in the D.C. area, come and see her, the original model from the original series! She’s in the Air and Space Museum.

No,this was in the original location on the Mall. Photo is from 2024.

Yep, though the last time I was there (this photo), the museum building was still finishing renovation, so it was actually on the Independence Ave. Side of the building.

The original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 model that was used in filming three original series of Star Trek. The model is sitting in a glad enclosure fully lit surrounded by people in the atrium off the national air and space museum.

And here she is now, fully restored and beautiful as ever in the national air and space museum!
