Off the interstate in the middle of the state lies a museum with shuttered doors. Inside those hangars is the largest private collection of airplanes in the world. It was once a popular tourist attraction, with a plane on the side of the highway, but if its owner and curator has his way, it will be a brand new city all its own.
