Centrifuge takes last spin
HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- Capt. George Cannon, 48th Operations Support Squadron Tactics Division chief from Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, prepares to spin on Holloman's centrifuge during flight acceleration training Oct. 27, 2010. Captain Cannon was the last student to spin in Holloman's centrifuge, which is being deactivated as directed by the Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure of 2005. The BRAC announced the consolidation of the fighter acceleration training and aerospace medicine research missions at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, where a new centrifuge is being built.
