New Tower
Senior Airman Susana Twilley, a 71st Operations Support Squadron air traffic controller, watches the old control tower demolition from the cab of the new tower at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma, Jan. 21. The new tower stands almost four stories taller than its predecessor and houses state-of-the-art systems to help control Vance's busy skies more efficiently. Vance's tower was replaced after more than 40 years of service to the base's pilot training mission. (U.S. Air Force photo / David Poe)
