In California, Solano County planning commissioners decided to postpone until Dec.6 consideration of a proposal that would add another 88 wind turbines to some 700 already on the hills above Travis AFB, Calif., reports The Reporter. Air Force officials fear there could be a potential hazard from adding additional turbines and urged planners to hold off until the base had installed its new aircraft-control ASR-11 radar system and gone operational, which is set for fall 2008.
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.
