Hugs!! Did anyone here ever found gold?

How much would that have been worth?

not a great deal unless it can be documented to have flown at a time of national significance. example, I have an old 48er that flew over a federal facility in Honolulu on Dec 7, 1941, that can fetch some money.
a plain jane 48er, in good to excellent condition, can probably fetch you about 50$

From Trek I only have Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, and Robert Picardo. From real life space/aviation folk, I have Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins, Cernan, Glenn, Crossfield, both Rutans, and a few others. Many of these are on space & aviation artwork adorning the walls of my home.
A little story, as an aside. A few years back my husband and I were eating breakfast in Dayton, OH, where we were attending the "Inventing Flight" celebration. We looked over at the next table and there was John Glenn having breakfast with his wife and another couple. We didn't want to bother them during the meal, so we quietly arranged with our waitress to pick up the check for his table. We considered it an honor. Well, we were rewarded when, upon checking out, the hotel staff handed us a personal letter from John Glenn, complete with our names, thanking us. What a class act! He is one of my heroes.
We have about 40 flags, so it is a bit of a challenge. We have a hangar with an 18 foot ceiling, and are trying to think of a way to hang the flags. Still working on it.

interesting that you would mention Armstrong, I have his signature on my home church's church bulletin from back when I was a teenager. he was there that sunday as an out of town guest, and of course, I'm sure not shy so I asked.
Glenn is the first Astronaut whom I remember as a little boy. Your hangar may be ideal for hanging the flags if your can put in appropriate lighting. You just need some support cross struts to hang the flags from and you will be in business.
