I'm probably going to be going to Udvar-Hazy around midday on Sunday (after the comcom meeting on Sunday morning, before I fly out fairly early on Monday), returning to Washington when it closes at ~6.30pm. If anyone else is interested in going at these times, let me know.
It looks like the easiest way to get there via public transport is the Metrobus to Dulles (http://www.wmata.com/bus/ - 5A, from L'enfant Plaza to Dulles), and then there's a Loudon bus from Dulles to the Air and Space museum (route 83, http://www.vatransit.org/) - and back the same way.
