I'm confused, wasn't Moffett Field the one recently discussed as being used by
Google? Sorry if I missed something obvious...

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] The Moffett Field airship hangars
I have a brother who lives in the vicinity of Moffett Field. There are three
hangars, one very large one that once housed the USS Macon, the other two
smaller units which were built during WWII to house blimps. He tells me that
the big hangar has been off limits for several years because of either asbestos
or lead paint "contamination." One of the small hangars is currently in use by
the airship "Eureka," the dirigible currently flying sightseeing flights over
the San Francisco area. The second small hangar is used for storage.
Interestingly, the big hangar was used for a number of years for regularly
scheduled indoor flying and other activities. To my knowledge, no one ever
suffered ill effects from their experiences there.
