The 436th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental restoration staff at Dover AFB, Del., has won the 2006 Air Force General Thomas D. White Environmental Restoration Award, which honors the installation with the best restoration program. The Dover staff managed to provide a remedy-in-place six years ahead of the base goal to remediate 59 locations where contaminants historically had leaked into the environment.
Both Air Force Special Operations Command and the main contractor for the OA-1K Skyraider II are testing a new use for the modified cropduster: cruise missile carrier.
