Hangar 1 Expansion Project
In the fall of 2009 we broke ground on a 20,000 square foot expansion to Hangar 1. The new space will create a central plaza with expanded guest accommodations, including a new 4,500 square foot restaurant facility. The space will display some of our more famous and recognizable aircraft that have strong connections to film and television in a setting ideal for staging atmospheric and engaging specials events for any occasion.
Check back often to view updated pictures documenting the progress of the project.
