WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE —
Museum galleries at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base have reopened after a temporary closure due to maintenance on the A-1E Skyraider.
An inspection conducted last week found the aircraft contained fuel, and although there was no leakage officials had to expedite the defueling of the aircraft by Air Force safety standards.
“Discovering fuel in an aircraft on display in the museum is highly unusual and we regret having to inconvenience our visitors by temporarily closing several galleries,” said museum director Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jack Hudson in a release.
“Safety must always come first though, and the team did a superb job in resolving this matter so that the galleries could be re-opened today.
