I'll have to make a trip to the Gerber facility.

Make sure you check in advance as the Garber Facility is a restoration
facility, not really a museum.

It is an unforgettable place. Years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend a
week long "restoration class" at that facility. We spend a lot of time just
re-anodizing the bolts to the correct Japanese WWII OEM colors for a Jake
that was under restoration. (You might suspect that corrosion control is a
big deal there!) The highlight for me was to help rivet up the atomic bomb
rack (original one missing, but they had the plans) for the Enola Gay,
which was sitting inside w/o wings. Seeing a wooden Nazi twin jet powered
flying wing that looked like a pancake in one dark corner was icing on the
cake.
You must visit the place, it is better than the museum downtown.
