WWW.DMAIRFIELD.ORG ANNIVERSARY

OFFICE UPGRADE

This year, 2010, marks the 5th anniversary of www.dmairfield.org going online. It also marks the 10th anniversary of your Webmaster's efforts against the Davis-Monthan Airfield project.

To celebrate the anniversaries, the "seat of power" for the project and the Web site has had its infrastructure enhanced. Your Webmaster's office was remodeled April 19-30 by installing new book cases, storage drawers, cabinets and files, and by a new coat of paint.

These enhancements will ease the labor of keeping in order the equipment, photographs, paper records, artifacts, charts and other accoutrements associated with the Davis-Monthan Airfield project and Web site. Thanks for your patience while the remodeling was underway. All that to bring you the best of www.dmairfield.org still yet to come over the next decades!

Below, images of the transformation. First photograph shows initial placement of custom-made modular drawer and cabinet assemblies.

**Prime Coat, Book Shelves**

Second coat of paint, two shelves fitted. Back and side panels installed under bookshelves for increased strength.

**Pocket Doors Installed on Left-Most Cabinet; Ceiling Cove Installed**

Maple grain pocket doors coated with four applications of polyurethane. Pull-out work surface installed.

**Pull-Out Work Surface Installed, Second Coat of Paint**

Third coat of paint. Pull knobs installed. Drawers in place, including lower file drawers containing letter- and legal-sized file rails. Source books placed, with plenty of room for expansion.

**Finished Storage & Worksurface**

Opening pocket doors reveals file cabinets within. The red dots mean that the entities within the folders, in this case some of the pilots, are represented by an online biography page. As you can see, there's still work to be done.

**Pocket Doors Revealing Stacked File Cabinets**

Below, a sort of panorama of the "SEAT OF POWER." The history of the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register is delivered to the globe from here.
