The Alabama Air National Guard is one step closer to getting a new operations and training facility for the 187th Fighter Wing at Dannelly Field, Ala., reports the Montgomery Advertiser. Officials broke ground on a new $10.9 million facility that will replace the wing’s current 50-year-old headquarters and put several functions under one roof. According to the newspaper, the unit has doubled in size since it moved from Birmingham in the 1950s.
As with previous stealth aircraft unveilings, the Air Force’s imagery of the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter has been doctored to keep adversaries guessing about its true shaping and design philosophy.
