Google to restore Hangar One and operate runways at Moffett Field

Great news! Lived off the appch end 32 for twenty eight years. Was a daily airshow from P3s to C5As . Lots of military breaks....even C5s. Would hang on the fence while C5s throttled up and caused dust storms across 101. Super airshows with Hanger One a star along with the Blue Angles. Great airfield!

As a Navy night fighter pilot of WW II I was recalled in 1952 and reported to my squadron in the big hanger at Moffett (named after RAdm William A. Moffett) to fly the post war version of now the F4U-5N whose teams graced each CVA during the Korean War. Great for us early all weather pilots because we could always find plenty of IFR weather to practice then. However, the hangar was built for dirigibles like the USS Macon. I have actually seen it sometimes rain inside when the big clamshell doors were closed. Good for Google.

Interesting. I wonder how they are going to handle ATC training, unless they plan to outsource that to a contractor, as this will not be an FAA field.
