Good Grief! Surprised there are any trees left - or are the others steel?

The Air Museum Hangar was certainly used for anti-submarine patrols, I 
read about it somewhere. I think they have a Catalina there. I used to 
have a thing about Catalinas... and a Messerschmitt, if memory serves, a 
109.

The Spruce Goose, eh? Worth a trip if you live over there, I'd say.
