Interesting Hangar Story

I just heard an interesting story from Ron Wilcox (NASA) about the hangar. Turns out that in this very hangar (that you see in yesterday's photo) both Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 as well as the movie Terminal were shot in nearly their entirety. For the Pirates movie apparently they created a river/lake inside the hangar. I suppose there just isn't such a gigantic indoor area anywhere LA. When NASA moved from Edwards AFB to this location they took out a 20 year lease (this happened last year), so movies that want to film here will have to use the hangar next door, which is slightly smaller but could still hold a handful of 747s. There was a movie being filmed here yesterday. We saw about 12 big-rigs and/or trailers, 50 cars, and half a dozen police vehicles in the parking lot. I figured I would go over today and see them, but they packed up the entire operation last night. Strange part is, I never saw more than a dozen people the entire time. Side note, this hangar was where the B1 bomber development took place decades ago.
