Aircraft maintainers at Edwards AFB, Calif., volunteered to restore a historic aircraft for the base’s Air Force Flight Text Center museum. Airmen from the 412th Equipment Maintenance Squadron and the 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron worked weekends and nights for three months to fix up an F-106 Delta Dart, first extricating it from about eight inches of asphalt. They restored it to its appearance when it flew with the 329th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at George AFB, Calif. Eventually, it will join other historic 100-series aircraft at the base’s west gate.
The White House has nominated a half-dozen Air Force general officers for three-star jobs, including new leaders for Air Forces Central in the Middle East, the Air Force Reserve, and one of the service’s top acquisition organizations.
