Inscription:

I am at the Dulles Airport. I spent a couple of hours in Reston with Mike Bernat then I came back to check out the airport. These little buggies are real unique for carting people around.

Dulles International Airport
Plane-Mate

Dulles International Airport, the world's most modern terminal located in Fairfax and Loudoun counties in Northern Virginia.

The body of the Plane-Mate (Mobile Lounge) elevates to connect with the aircraft door, and is lowered and locked to the chassis when traveling on the field.
