There is an open house for the warehouses every year, it is in the summer
sometime.  They have bands, hotdogs, tours, etc.  Two years ago they
had all sorts of robots, the Trek mobile and other crazy cars.  It's alot
of fun.  It is advertised inthe Smithsonian associate magazine and the
Weekend section.  It's the ENOLA GAY, in many parts.
