For those of you who visit DC, though, and need to see more than the Air and Space museum has room for, the Smithsonian's storage facility at Silver Hill, Md used to give tours; it's been some years since I've been there, but the complex is basically wall-to-wall aircraft in various states of repair and preservation; everything from partially-restored cloth-winged biplanes to the disassembled Enola Gay. Many of my friends way back in junior high lost lots of sleep trying to get internships at the site; repair and restoration goes on continuously. Perhaps fred@mimsy could tell you more; it's been a while. -dave -- David Hsu Communication & Signal Processing Lab, EE Department <disclaimer> University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 hsu@eneevax.umd.edu {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!hsu "They were the elite, the vanguard of progress.
