All the hangars are still there though Site 9 and the Space Shuttle hanger (don't know its site number off hand) are not currently being used. Primary work is at Lockheed's plant which is actually off-base but shares the runways and Site 4 which is used for B-2 Maintenance.
They still do low level flights of the B-2 in stealth mode at like 6 a.m. Kind of unnerving to see a plane that large flying at tree top level and not hearing it coming. I remember when I was a kid seeing the SR-71 flying over my school with its chaser planes. All of a sudden the SR-71 hit its afterburners and was gone. Made it look like the chasers were standing still.
