So long as it passed the WAF ("wife acceptance factor") you should be good.

I like the idea of it in the hangar - gives a sense of history, Americana and perspective to what otherwise some people might have called another soulless airport hangar.

I have no idea as to whether to leave it as, or totally restore it down to the neon tubes.

You both decide that and then tell us what happened.
