OK, OK, Mary ... But don't forget, all this was occuring when I was
all of, hmm, 5 - 9 years old; just imagine the elementary school
bragging rights! ;-)

I can remember visiting the warehouse in Silver Hill -- is that
the one you're refering to?  About the only thing I can remember
is that they were in the process of restoring the Enola Gae (sp.?).
As that was 10+ yrs ago, I'd be looking for it in the musuem in
coming years!  (If they can find space for it, that is...)  Actually,
I think you can schedule a tour of Silver Hill (in PG cnty) but
there's a really long waiting list.
