I dunno, they could fit more in, but you'd need to be issued with binoculars or a higher walkway to view them!

Thanks for the info, details and even map links.

The reason behind it was the thought of possibly making DC/ Dulles-hub a 1/2 - 3/4 day stopover on a longhaul flight, breaking travel for something outstanding to look at while shaking-a-leg, dealing with jetlag etc
Therefore the interest in finding out about shuttle/ transport times, distances in between etc.
I know it doesn't do the place justice, but it's just an idea.
