Changing Bulbs/Opening Roof Vents in the Hangar

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Greg Gutting

James Martin and Sam Strahan took advantage of the scissor lift being used to install the new fan in the Commemorative Center hangar, and replaced some burned out bulbs and opened the roof vents for better air flow. It should be cooler in there pretty soon guys!

: James Martin (L) watches as Sam Strahan doesn’t (note that his eyes are closed) while operating the scissors lift.

: Sam has opened his eyes, but the light is apparently too much for him. DPS and DOT were waiting below to check his CDL and to administer a field sobriety test!
