Igi 2 Airfield

[Stella Kreuter]

HDOTleases 271 acres of the 650-acre Dillingham Military Reservation and operates the single 9,000-foot runway primarily for commercial glider and skydiving operations. The facility is a joint military/civil use airfield with the Army having first priority for air-land operations and helicopter night-vision training.

Our focus is to preserve the historic location and resources that were dedicated during World War II to developing the United States Air Forces into a formidable group that could help win the war. We are providing a venue that helps explain World War II history, promotes ongoing learning and helps develop an interest in the sciences and technology associated with aviation and engineering.

We believe in preserving the legacy that has lived here in Wendover. In order to do so, we are focusing our efforts on restoring a number of buildings, aircraft, and other aspects of this historic airfield. We have completed several major projects and have plans to do many more.

This is one of the best ways to support the work that is going on here at the historic Wendover airfield.Become a MemberTake a Virtual Tour Get a sneak peek at the various exhibits, buildings, and experiences you will encounter when you come for a visit by taking a virtual tour on our mobile app. It is free to download and is available in both the Apple app store and the google play store!

Airfield geometry challenges are inherent in airport design. While nonstandard geometries are being corrected throughout the NAS, this video series is intended to bring pilot awareness to the types of challenges they will see and ways to avoid these challenges.

In reviewing runway safety data, the FAA identified seven airfield geometry configurations that most frequently lead to pilot challenges resulting in runway incursion and developed videos on these challenges. This series of seven short videos on Complex Airfield Geometry is part of the From the Flight Deck video series. Click to view the videos below or read more about them. You can also learn more about From the Flight Deck, check out a map of all current and forthcoming airport video locations, or watch From the Flight Deck videos on other general aviation safety challenges pilots may encounter.

Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) claimed on July 27 that its drones attacked the Olenya airfield in Russia's far northern Murmansk region, saying it struck a TU-22M3 strategic bomber. It also said that three Russian Army helicopters had been destroyed on Russian territory over the previous week.

Separately, the HUR said in a statement that the three damaged helicopters were being used against Ukraine and Russian authorities were "trying to hide the causes and consequences of the noise and fire" that destroyed the aircraft from local residents.

A heart surgeon by training, reformist Pezeshkian is a former health minister and multiterm lawmaker who was elected president earlier this month in a snap election held after the death of hard-line president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash in May.

The first round of voting on June 28 had voter participation of 39 percent -- a record-low turnout for a presidential election in the history of the Islamic republic. The runoff vote on July 5, which saw Pezeshkian face off against ultraconservative candidate Saeed Jalili, saw the turnout rise to around 49 percent.

Three storage tanks caught fire as a result of the drone strike, acting regional Governor Aleksei Smirnov said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. He said one of the fires was quickly extinguished, but firefighters were trying to put out the two other blazes. Smirnov said 82 firefighters and 32 units of equipment were involved.

Ukraine considers Russian oil infrastructure a legitimate military target and began targeting it in early 2024. Ukraine makes extensive use of long-range drones, which are virtually the only weapons that can hit military facilities deep inside Russia.

Azerbaijani media reports claim Baku is preparing a protest to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and a complaint via diplomatic channels to Olympics host France after a commentator on French public television reportedly called Armenians "our friends" and suggested Nagorno-Karabakh had recently "passed into the hands of the Azerbaijani Army." The alleged remarks came during the introduction of national contingents on France 2 during opening ceremonies in Paris on July 26. There was no official confirmation of any Azerbaijani complaint. Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized Azerbaijani territory, but ethnic Armenians backed by Yerevan controlled it for decades until Azerbaijani forces retook it in September 2023. The IOC has tight rules in place to try to avoid the introduction of politics into its sports competitions and official events. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Armenian Service, click here.
