AGAIN: Udvar-Hazy Restoration Center Open House
All:
Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Museum 2nd annual Restoration Shop open house will be on Saturday Jan. 24. The shop will open at 10 AM and the line to enter the shop will close at 3:00 PM. If you are in line by 3:00 PM, you will be able to access the areas. One will be able to visit the restoration shop floor, collections area, cold storage, preservation lab, and archive library.
If you live in the Washington DC area please try and visit. On the shop floor is the entire Flak Bait B-26 Marauder, but in many pieces. You will be able to talk with restoration staff. Kikka is in the collection area, and right now, depending on the weather, they say they are bringing the Ho-229 center section over from Garber and it will be viewable close up. The wings and other parts like the intakes, exhaust panels and canopy are already on the shop floor is various stages of preservation.
I will be there all day so please stop by and say hello if you find me.
