Airmen deployed from Holloman AFB, N.M., finished building the Air Force’s largest deployable hangar at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, last week, reports Capt. Michael Meredith. A nine-person team from Holloman’s 49th Material Maintenance Group worked on the 225-foot by 70-foot hangar from Oct. 22 through Nov. 5. It will house three HH-60 Pave Hawk combat search and rescue helicopters instead of the normal one aircraft per hangar. MSgt. Samuel Tran, team leader, said, “This is basically two and half shelters grafted together, and this is the largest one like it in the Air Force.”
The Air Force on Jan. 6 released nearly a dozen photos of F-22 and F-35 fighters returning to Puerto Rico after supporting the raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—the first official images of forces who participated in Operation Absolute Resolve.
