Ground was broken for a new 119,000-square-foot, $19.7 million F/A-22 maintainer training facility at Sheppard AFB, Texas, on 18 February. Four primary Air Force specialties, including crew chiefs, will train at the facility. Twenty maintenance training devices will be housed in the school to provide training for fuel systems, armament, flight controls, avionics, seat and canopy structures, landing gear, hydraulics, and powerplant systems. The schoolhouse will also have an area for fiber-optic and connector repair training. The structure is expected to be completed next fall with a move-in date of January 2007.
