[MilCom] Langley AFB runway closure

[Joe Cobb]

One of the mechanics next door to our FBO is retired
from the USAF and as a perk receives Air Force
Magazine, Journal of the Air Force Association.   Here
is what it says from a couple of paragraphs in
reguards to the closure.  This is quoted from the
magazine so all credit goes to them.

   "Langley has scheduled a substantial renovation of
its main runway during June and July, so the base's
entire complement of F-15's and F-22's must go
elsewhere for the duration.  The 1st FW will send a
dozen of it's F-22's to the Northern Edge air combat
exercise in Alaska, then they will operate in Alaska
for another month.  Following that, they will operate
from Savannah, GA until the Langley runway repairs are
completed, Hecker said.
    The rest of the Raptors-about 18- will deploy to
Hill AFB, practicing ground attack missions for a
month.  After that, they move to Tyndall AFB, FL.,
where they will fire live air to air missles at drones
in Combat Archer exercises, and then return to Langley
in August, he added"

It doesn't mention the F-15's schedule but i would
assume they will probably go similar to the Raptors. 
Hope that helped.

Joe
