NASM Restoration Facility?

[APG85]

Any pictures of the new facility at the Hazy Center?

Its all here-say but The word is that the facility is all built and ready to go but someone dropped the ball on obtaining permits so they are not allowed to perform any restoration work. I heard everyone is itching to get to work but frustrated that they can't.

I hope they can get the permit situation squared away so they can get back to doing what they do best.

Taigh, you hit it on the head. Thats actually whats going on. Nary a wrench has been turned on any plane in the new facility. I think its high time aircraft be sent out to other locals to be restored like the XP-55 at the Air Zoo. Otherwise it will take literally 100 years to restore everything they have.

Interesting. Somehow they have been able to assemble the JRS-1. This shot from the musuem's Facebook page shows a much more complete aircraft than when I saw it this spring... Did they do the work in another builiding? Or are they able to assemble thing, but need permits for painting, parts cleaning, etc?

I'm sure it was assembled right there where its parked. The facility is "supposed" to be state of the art so I would assume they have what it takes for an assembly like this one. The permits are need for the other stuff you mentioned. Seems like alot of red tape which as everyone knows our gov't is very good for.

Feel like I did my part with all the $12 and $15 parking fees I've paid.

They should probably name it after me.

I was a contributor for years until the restoration facility was built and then wasnt used. Now I have found other places to send my donations to; albeit small donations.
