I toured the Garber Restoration Facility (I think that is what you are
referring to when you say the warehouse in Silver Hill) in 1989.  At that
time the Enola Gay was still in many pieces due to the restoration effort.
I don't recall if they said when the process would be finished but if it
really started 10 years ago then judging by what I saw 4 years ago, it
could still be a long time before the project is finished.

Garber is an amazing place to tour.  I highly recommend it to aviation/space
buffs.

Does anyone know if there is any way to get a tour to see space shuttle
Enterprise at Dulles, or if and when it will ever be incorporated in a real
museum environment?  By environment what I mean is a museum with regular
visiting hours.
