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 rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
