Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in Washington, D.C. February 21, 1985, and because her flight was grounded an extra 10 hours by a forecast of fog, she got to see the National Air and Space Museum. Photo shows Thatcher walking under the Spirit of St. Louis. She also saw the IMAX movie "Hail Columbia" and had a close-up look at the Wright Flyer.
