Maybe in 1985 Dulles International Airport was still considered a remote location but not anymore. Fairfax County which bounds the airport on 2 sides has a population of over 1.5 million alone. The Shuttle cannot fit inside of the Air and Space museum on the mall because it is too big. Udvar Hazy was specifally built to handle large objects such as the Space Shuttle and the Concorde and the Enola Gay. I live 10 minute from the Udvar Hazy facility and everytime I have guests in town I take them to the museum.
