Yet another example of the government's rules, with no flexibility allowed.
Instead of getting access for the handicapped, it has resulted in getting NO
access for anyone.

There should be a grant process (for all I know, there is one) so that
historic (and perhaps other uses) items like the Spruce Goose could get some
monetary help in installing the equipment needed, so that all could enjoy
and learn about our history.

Unfortunately, it's probably not just a money issue. If access to the flight
deck is currently by hatchways and narrow stairs, then the museum will have to
cut the hatchways larger and install ramps or an elevator.

Not the thing you want to do to an historic aircraft....
