The destination for the SimPilot Forum's third Flight Rally is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. USA!

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) Aerial Photo After the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington on September 11th, 2001, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was closed to air service.

The airport began limited operations on October 4th, 2001 under Phase I, with service to eight destinations on six selected airlines. Phase II resumed service to 18 additional destinations, with eight additional airlines in late October 2001. Phase III which began in January 2002, increased service up to the 69 destinations previously served by the Airport. This was approximately 77 percent of the number of flights operating at Reagan National prior to September 11th, 2001.

On April 15th, 2002, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was authorized by the Department of Transportation to return to its pre-September 11th capacity. With a return to full service, operations at the airport will be permitted to reach approximately 800 daily flights, and serve all cities it had previously served. "The return of Reagan National Airport to pre-September 11th totals is a major milestone in our nation's recovery from the tragedy we experienced", said United States Department of Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta. "The recovery of this airport attests to our nation's resolve".
