some places in Europe have used these for indoor resorts. Any thoughts on that idea?

Also – what is happening to the (sister) hangar in Akron, oh. Did they have the same issue?

It looks amazing as a shell of a great building built a long time ago!

My dad helped build the youngest of the three many, many years ago. He was so,proud! We got into the air shows for free for along time.

When will they start?
I moved to this part of the Bay Area in 2010. In 2011 they began to strip her down. She has been exposed way too long.
Will it return to the public or will Google keep the public out of something that we built with US tax dollars?
I don’t mind Google paying for runway maintenance, but that hangar is a historical landmark that should be able to be viewed by the public.
Also, Google should pay US taxes instead of moving their money out of country like Apple. They are both not looking after the USA.

In reply to Debbie Dimick. Thanks Debbie. Sounds like a pretty fun place to hang out as a kid - such wide open spaces always feel fun and empowering.

This is inside of hangar 1. We were building a set for the breakthrough awards show. I believe this was 2014. You had to pass an instant background check just to get inside! It was a fun job with a very huge budget!
