We went to an airshow there in 1990-ish and saw the exhibits in the main hangar including the Connie. It didn't register what the markings were and not having much interest in airliners it wouldn't have meant anything anyway. The hangar was brightly lit and looked immaculate as did the "exhibits".
I believe that's the hangar that's reputedly dangerous and structurally unsound.
I'm pretty sure it's the adjacent hangar (the one with the Comet and Trident) that's out-of-bounds due to its condition, rather than the one with the Connie.
