Beware of flash flooding, standing water
September 8, 2009
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. -- Beware of flash flooding, standing water. Although Langley isn't often affected by hurricanes, severe weather is expected throughout the summer months, and flash flooding is a dangerous byproduct of torrential downpours. Lt. Col. Matt Esper, 1st Fighter Wing Safety Office chief of safety, advises drivers to avoid driving through areas of standing water, as it may disable vehicles. Drivers cannot gauge how deep the water is and may be deeper than it appears. Also, drivers are advised to avoid driving through moving water. If you notice any areas of standing water on base, call the 1st Civil Engineer Squadron at 764-5342. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Zachary Wolf)

ODU ceases wind tunnel testing
September 1, 2009
LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. – An X-48C experimental aircraft is mounted in a full-scale wind tunnel here Aug. 31. Old Dominion University operates the tunnel, which was built in 1930, for clients including NASA, Boeing Co. and the U.S. Air Force. The tunnel measures 30x60 feet and is the largest university operated wind tunnel in the world. The tunnel provides a controlled test environment to measure aerodynamic forces on vehicles. ODU will cease wind tunnel testing on Sept. 4, and NASA's Langley Research Center will later dismantle the building because it is no longer strategically important to NASA’s aeronautical research.
