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.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
