I saw it too- great episode!

Back in the 70's, I often flew in and out of the Willow Run airport on
corporate jets.

The factory building was on the far side of the field. It had been
enlarged previously by the then current owner- General Motors- and was
the biggest honkin' factory I've ever seen.
