New Airplane Hangar Project

 The past few weeks I have been working on the new hangar out at SAMAIR. A few years ago the roof blew off the old building, drawing attention to the fact that it was getting old and was in need of an overhaul. The money was raised and the preperations made and the above photo is a great view to see just how much bigger and stronger the new structure will be. In the picture, what you can see in the middle, is the old wood structure with the roofing taken off. Then on either side you can see the new steel structure. This week we have removed the old wood and are putting up the new steel trusses.
Here is a picture of one of the team members welding the new trusses. The flight ministry is still ongoing in the midst of all of this construction. In the foreground of the first picture you can see one of the planes that have to be parked outside for now.
