Last time I was there they were setting up a machine shop, looking for
someone to run the machines on a voluntary basis.

Don't forget my favorite air museum, the Lone Star Flight Museum in
Galveston. http://www.lsfm.org/ It has one of the best collections
of flyable Grummans I've seen, in addition to lots of others. Just
click on the Aircraft Status board. I try to stop in there at least
once per year.
