128th Air Refueling Group
Story 128th Refueling
The basic tanker, the KC135, (pictured here in a phase inspection)
is scheduled for replacement by KC-10's.
 

The hangar for the 128th Air Refueling Group ANG based at Mitchell International Airport is a unique structure in both looks and function.

The 195'-0" x 42'-8" opening is covered by an eight leaf bi-parting door system. A special 20' x 20' tail door allows for accommodation of a variety of aircraft (propeller to KC-10's).

Consequently, the distinctive exterior hangar configuration is the result of deliberate pre-planning. Addressing a series of specific problems such as: limited space for facilities (premium land costs), energy efficiencies and new construction vs. remodeling. The end result is a blueprint for future military hangars. Aesthetics and utility are synonomous in this exemplary facility.
