U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangle, Elmira, California (1980), Universal Transverse Coordinates: 4235340.591897. Significance: Building 810 is significant as an excellent example of a double-cantilever, medium bomber hangar used for maintenance of the B-36. It was one of the first such double-bay bomber hangars erected nationwide by the Strategic Air Command (SAC). The B-36 was SAC's first long-range, intercontinental bomber carrying nuclear weapons, the only aircraft during the early years of the Cold War capable of reaching-and returning from­ the Soviet Union. This maintenance hangar, in response to the size of the bomber, was monumental. Similar structures were built at SAC installations between 1952 and 1957. The double-cantilever, B-36 hangar was one of the first symbolic military structures of the Cold War; its physical size foreshadowed the moleholes and alert apron of the B-52 and KC-135 tanker (Geo-Marine, 1996). Description: This building is an oversized, steel frame, and open-truss hangar, with a flat roof, reinforced, concrete slab foundation and metal-deck roof. Clad in corrugated metal siding, it is 66'-0" high and measures 268'-0" by 370'-0" with an 18'0" by 55'-0" offset and four 9'-0" by 37'-0", 6-inch wing additions. The primary (north) and rear (south) fac;ades are defined by full-fac;ade motorized sliding pocket doors dominated by two parallel rows of multi-light steel industrial ribbon windows provided for access of the large aircraft. Various modifications are visible at the west elevation. The interior is dominated by a vast open expanse of metal trusses. The small portion of the building's center is enclosed, and presumably contains office and storage space. Additionally, the westernmost portion is enclosed, encompassing office, shop and storage areas. Missile . triangulation stations, brass plates set in reinforced concrete piers independent of the hangar floor, occupied a significant portion of the northern half of the shop area. Travis Air Force Base B-36 Hangar (Building No. 810) HABS No. CA-2669-B (page 2) Historical Context: The B-36 hangar was initially developed in mid-1947 by the engineering firm of Roberts & Schaefer of Chicago as a monolithic, rib-and-shell vault structure designed to accommodate two B-36s, and named the V.V.H.B. hangar. Only three hangars of this type are known to have been constructed. In 1951, a second prototype was developed, with only one hangar constructed by Pacific Iron and Steel of Los Angeles. SAC selected a third design, that by the Kuljian Corporation of Philadelphia, named a double­ cantilever, heavy bomber hangar, or "DC" hangar. Its truss roof was designed to permit easy extension without complex structural modifications while incorporating a fully open plan inside. The truss was derived from the three-dimensional space frame patented by Charles W. Atwood in 1939, and was the result of innovations for the movable truss patented by Komad W achsmann and Paul W eidlinger in 1945. The mobile truss was designed for extension in all four directions from two central trussed bents. Wachsmann, a German architect-engineer, had immigrated to the United States during World War II with the aid of Albert Einstein, and had also patented a prefabricated modular house with architect Walter Gropius. The Air Force adopted three sizes of the "DC" prototype: a single bay designed to accommodate two B-36s, a double-bay designed for three B-36s, and a triple-bay for five B-36 bombers. By October 1957, the Air Force had constructed 50 hangars on 44 bases, many sited immediate to key nuclear weapons storage and production sites. Three­ quarters of the hangars were of the single-bay type, and only six were of the triple-bay type. Travis AFB received its first B-36 from Vaulted Vultee Corporation in 1951, with its inventory reaching 43 by 1953. The original drawings for the B-36 hangar were completed in July 1952 by the Kuljian Corporation of Philadelphia, and modified for Travis AFB in December 1952. Building 810, constructed in 1955, is a double-bay "DC" hangar, measuring 90,471 square feet for the maintenance of this aircraft. Minor modifications were introduced in 1957, according to the designs of Ned H. Adams and Associates. In 1960- 1961, this structure was modified by Earl and Wright to accommodate a GAM-77/ GAM-72 assembly, guidance, and maintenance shop (housing missile racks); the west fa9ade was extended for GAM-72 storage, and SAC administrative offices were added at the east end. A missile assembly shop was added to the west end in 1965. In response to SAC's leave-taking of Travis AFB and housing by the Military Airlift Command, three prefabricated maintenance stations were added in the center of the space in August 1966 to service C-141 transports, according to the designs of Hudgins, Thompson, Ball & Associates. These were again removed in 1970 to accommodate C-5A maintenance. Travis Air Force Base B-36 Hangar (Building No. 810) HABS No. CA-2669-B (page 3) Sources: Geo-Marine, 1996.

  • 4.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials 4.8.1
    4.8 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Human-caused hazards that may potentially have an effect on the Specific Plan Area include hazardous and toxic materials (including facilities regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], hazardous waste and disposal, toxic releases, leaking underground storage tanks [LUSTs], and utility pipelines), military installations, other airports and airport hazards, and potential adverse human health effects from exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). The following section describes the existing conditions of these hazards in and within the vicinity of the Specific Plan Area. This section analyzes the significance of potential impacts related to hazards associated with historic and current land uses of the Specific Plan Area and surrounding uses, as well as potential impacts related to hazardous materials that may be introduced by the Specific Plan. 4.8.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS This section describes the hazards and hazardous materials, including “Recognized Environmental Conditions” (REC) that are located within the Specific Plan Area. As defined in the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice E 1527-05, a REC is “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a part release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.” The information on RECs is based on Hazardous Materials Assessment Report Northeast Fairfield Station Area, Fairfield, CA prepared by ENGEO, Inc.

NEWS/FEATURES 6th Air Refueling Wing redesignation by Airman 1st Class Ryan C. Grossklag 6th Air Refueling Wing Team MacDill held a redesignation ceremony commencing the transition of the 6th Air Mobility Wing to the 6th Air Refueling Wing Monday. The new designation became official Tuesday. The event, held at the community park, marks the host wing’s first redesignation since the 6th AMW moved to MacDill Air Force Base from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska in 1993. The change comes with the departure of MacDill’s C-37A Gulfstream jets and the deactivation of the historic 310th Airlift Squadron. “With the deactivation of the 310th, our wing’s sole air operations mis- sion is once again, air refueling,” said Col. Stephen Snelson, the 6th ARW commander, speaking to the attending crowd. “Our name may be new, but our mission is still delivering unmatched air refueling, and installation and mission support.” Snelson spoke of the history of MacDill and the wings that have come and gone over the years, but assured the crowd that the presiding focus remained the same.

Maryanne Miller Air Mobility Command I have had the privilege of working for the men and women of Air Mo- bility Command for 7 months now.
