No, Colorado Springs.
That is where the museum is as well. The name of the restoration shop is WESTPAC Restorations. They do a lot of them. I have a few pics of other planes.

I've been meaning to visit a museum. I'd love to see an SR71 Blackbird.
Have you guys ever been to Kennedy space center? I'd seen the space shuttle launch a thousand times from my house in Delray but seeing one launch up close is unforgettable.

This museum is a pretty neat place. The pic of the P-38 was taken in their hangar. In the back of the hangar is a workshop where they were restoring another P-38. Wasn't much more than a frame when I was there last spring.
