Wendover Airfield part 2.

We continue our exploration of the historic site.

Work underway on a flight line hangar.

A coal storage bin for one of the buildings.  Imagine how cold it was during the War, tarpaper barracks and no insulation.

Mommy checking out a hangar full of T-33 airplanes.

What?!

The airport has good taste in tractors. :)

A Douglas C-54 squired by the museum.

The 99% restored "Enola Gay" hangar.

Pictures don't do this hangar justice.  It's incredible!

Barrack row.

The boiler is still intact in the Enola Gay hangar!!

The coal storage bin outside to feed the boiler.  Note the coal on the ground!  Think how many people and supplies it took to keep a base of 22,000 people alive every day.
