Does anyone know anything about it? I was there a little while ago, and the main building was closed, but the aircrat were still thre to walk around. I was all alone. It felt like a ghost town air museum.

I was out there about a year ago and they had a sign up that they were renovating the musuem. There were poeple working inside that day (it was a Friday Afternoon) doing what looked like boxing up of the exhibits It was an interesting collection of stuff, all jets if I remember correctly, wiht a few rare types. I thought it was really interesting how accesible the aircraft were, no barriers or ropes to keep you away. You probaly also noticed what I noticed which was the fact that the elements are taking there toll.

I think I say something about the musuem may be moving to Langley but can't locate the article I think I saw that in.

Yeah, they need some TLC. Very odd place. But cool at the same time.
