The Museum of Aviation at Robins AFB, Ga., has started construction on its new World War II hangar. The museum expects the $4 million, 60,000-square-foot facility to be completed by mid-2008. It will house some 16 World War II vintage aircraft and displays featuring the Flying Tigers and Tuskegee Airmen.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
