Hangar 151 isn't the largest hangar at Edwards; that honor goes to bldg 1600. The hangar door inside dimension for bldg 151 is about 90 feet. The tail of the ABL 747 just barely fit through the door of bldg 151. The B2 is housed in bldg 160 rather than bldg 156. Building 160 is actually much more than a hangar; it was used by the B2 as a "hush house/hiding place" for engine runs for most of the FSD program. There is a mirror image building to b160 at Site 4 at plant 42 which was also used for engine runs. The exhaust collector/ejector equipment in the stack on the East end of bdlg 160 was removed in the late 1990's and engine runs can no longer be conducted there so for all practical purposes it is now just a "hangar".
