Description of Subject Matter: Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar
Summer 2012 – Permanent
Watch from the mezzanine as museum specialists reconstruct, repair, and preserve the historic aircraft, spacecraft, and other treasures in the National Air and Space Museum's collection. The Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar is spacious enough to accommodate several aircraft at a time. Items currently on view include the Martin B-26B-25-MA Marauder "Flak-Bait," which flew 207 missions over Europe during World War II, more than any other American aircraft, and the Apollo Telescope Mount, a solar observatory from Skylab, America’s first space station. A Sikorsky JRS-1, the museum’s only aircraft stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, is also visible.

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Seven relatively short trips this year: two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City), my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California), a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral, two additional trips to New York City, and a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing. Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
