#FromtheArchives One word that has been a part of Hill Air Force Base operations from the beginning is “overhaul.” We “overhaul” aircraft at Hill. But what does that really mean? The overhaul of an aircraft or weapon system includes a thorough examination in order to assess c and then recondition. Depot workers at Hill spent countless hours after World War II overhauling, repairing, and then storing thousands of aircraft, including the B-26 pictured here. Many of these B-26s where later pulled from storage and converted and redesignated as A-26s to fight in the Korean Conflict. The successful overhaul of countless weapon systems is a testimony to the meticulous efforts of the civilian employees who have kept the Air Force “Flyin’ and Fightin”. #HillAerospaceMuseum #FreeAdmission #HillAFB #USAF
