A general contractor team, working in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and base civil engineers, uses an excavator to demolish a fuel cell maintenance hangar, Dec. 15 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The hangar was used in the 1960s for B-52s stationed here prior to the 33d Fighter Wing being established. It was used for F-15s until the wing transitioned from Air Combat Command to Air Education and Training Command in October 2009. Replacing it will be an F-35 fuel cell maintenance hangar with three aircraft bays, office space and a tool crib. It is anticipated for completion in Feb. 2013. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj.

Trees and brush are being removed to make way for a new multi-purpose field and eventually tennis and basketball courts behind the East Gate shopette at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. This is one of many renovations to the athletic areas surrounding the track and field house. All of the ball fields will be upgraded with new dugouts and fencing. One of them will be converted to a multi-purpose field. The concrete PT pads will be coated in rubber urethane. Also, a covered pavilion area will be constructed between Foster Stadium and the soccer field. These projects are to support the increased PT activity in the area, according to the 96th Force Support Squadron. The expected completion date is late 2013. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)

An excavator picks up a flattened piece of a 50,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank as a C-130 flies overhead near the 33rd Fighter Wing March 11 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The tank was one of four removed from the area. The systems have been in place since 1959 and formerly used to refuel 33rd FW aircraft until recently. The new fuel storage system is already in place and increases the wing's capacity to more than a million gallons of JP-8 for the F-35s. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
