Scroll down in the article about the National Trust for Historic Places' "Most Endangered" list. One of the hangars at Wendover Airfield made the list. Thought it was cool that a hangar was starting to reach a level of importance that a national preservation group NOT associated with aviation would be concerned about its fate.

Congrats!
That's very good news.
Too many people out there look at an old hangar and just see a piece of junk or useless space.

This is indeed good news! It certainly beats tearing down B-29 hangars like they're doing in Kansas.

Congratulations.

i really enjoyed being able to go to that airfield twice and looking around some of the area. i wish you guys the best in getting more of the base saved. next time im over there i wanna see the pits and bunkers... if anyone has even the smallest chance to visit this place... i think youll really enjoy it.
