If you look at the hangars at Creech, they put a pile of UAVs in one
large hangar. In the days when I did the SGTs at Travis, it was one
plane per hangar due to the size of the planes. [SGT is the self
guided tour. Prior to 9/11, you would register at the shack to go to
the museum, but well get lost on your way to the museum.] So you can't
tell much about what goes in a hangar from the outside. Due to the
height of the hangar, I suspect they can do a bit of assembly inside
it with overhead cranes. If the planes in the hangar aren't flown to
Groom in the early AM from Palmdale, then they would need to have the
wings attached once shipped to Groom. I like how the office area is
set up not to face the base. If it has any windows, they would face
Tikaboo. The hangar is so far away from the rest of the base that you
wonder if it is not staffed by military but rather by a contractor
like Lockheed, Northrup, etc.
