Udvar-Hazy Restoration Center Open House

[Tony Kambic]

For those of you who will be near Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Museum this Saturday Jan. 25, for the first time open to the public will be the restoration and archive area. You will be able to walk through the restoration shop, seeing the different shops ( machine, electrical, paint, etc. ) and then through the archival storage, conservation, and research areas. It is open from 10 AM to 3 PM Saturday. In the restoration shop among other aircraft are the Curtiss Helldiver ( in parts), the Kikka, and the Horten Ho-229 wings. In the conservation shop you see a piece of the deteriorating Horten wood.
