What to do With a C-5 Cockpit:
Technicians at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Robins AFB, Ga., plan to make use of the cockpit portion of the C-5 Galaxy that crashed April 3 in a field just off Dover AFB, Del., reports the Wilmington (Del.) News Journal. They want to use it to test avionics upgrades for the C-5. The ALC is in the process of adapting its C-141 avionics test simulator to the C-5 maintenance program. Currently, they say the only way to test C-5 upgrades is by flying the airlifter.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
