WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio - It’s been one week since tornadoes hit several counties across southwest and central Ohio.

One area in particular was Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where an 80+ year old building saw damages.

What You Need To Know

  • Repair work at WPAFB has been ongoing for a week.

  • The 88th Civil Engineer Group has been assessing damages and working to get doors back in place.

  • Building is part of the National Museum of the United States Air Force Restoration Division.

The hangars were built right before WWII and the architecture is a little different from other buildings seen on base.

They have arched roofs and each one of the doors weighs about 10,000 lbs.

Over the past week, the 88th Civil Engineer Group on base has been busy working on repairs and working to get the sliding doors back on the tracks.

The buildings are used by the restoration division of the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

Outside the front of the building, several old planes were damaged, but they have been waiting to be recycled before the storm hit.

The museum's historic aircraft are refurbished and preserved inside.

Museum officials say the artifacts and aircraft inside did not have a lot of damage and they’re waiting for work to continue or waiting to be transported to other museums.

Right now, there is no timeline for when the repairs will be finished.

The museum has a disaster response team that will go in to take a closer look at damages.
