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 Air Force is planning to spend $2.19 billion over the next five years to acquire new C-37 jets for transporting military and civilian leaders. That’s on top of another $1.17 billion in projected funding for the VC-25B “Air Force One” replacement.
