At least the "Flight Museum" part sounds interesting

The flight museum part sounds very interesting indeed. Lets see how much bs red tape it takes to make that happen.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for anything substantive. There's not a lot of square footage available to play with, which means there's going to be pressure to turn every square inch into high revenue-generating space. There's also the whole bit an ultra-high brand like Standard wanting to keep out as much of the riff-raff as possible. Best I would hope for museum-wise would be a few freestanding curio cases in the lobby (the historic building), since they won't be able to do any structural alterations in there. I wouldn't be surprised, though, to see the whole place done up in 50s/60s Jet Age decor with interior design, typography, staff uniforms, the whole lot.
