Ah unfortunately my contact is no longer at the Museum, that was 1991 a long time ago I think he passed away.
What I did was call the Museum and get access to the data base there for research of flight information. Then NB and I went over and dug through the archives and sent all relevent info to Kesmai. I don't know if they are allowing that anymore. Check their website. But that lead to us getting into the Museum a couple hours early on a Saturday and having it to ourselves as well as sitting in the B-17G, B-24 and P-51D. I do believe they have a new rule that cockpit access is not allowed.
I would suggest that you contact the museum guest services and tell them what is going on and that you are having a convention of people who are interested in WW2 aircraft. Maybe you could get a tour guide and access to the restoration shop.
I had my bachelor party there back in 1994, and got to sit in the 51 cockpit again. Robert "Mouse" Shaw gave us a private tour of the museum, I don't know if he is still around those parts but he was a great guide. Hitech were you along for that? I know BlueBaron and Winchester were.
I was over there in October and they have really rearranged things where it had been stagnent for the entire 90s. The one gallery is entirely WW2 now. Lots of neat stuff including a pristine A6M2, Beaufighter, P-47D40 and Bf109-G14.
Excellent bookstore so bring lots of cash and empty spots in your luggage.
