With the ground work finished, the newest aircraft hangar for the 507th Air Refueling Wing is starting to show above ground progress. The $10 million KC-135 Maintenance Hangar project came after the 2005 Base Reallignment and Closure process which resulted in the wing receiving additional aircraft and directed the Oklahoma Air National Guard's 137th Air Refueling Wing to association with 507th. The new 26,000 square foot facility includes additional parking and is expected to be completed by October of 2011.
