Seven people in the Delta Junction area tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to the local COVID-19 Task Force. That’s down from 27 over the previous week and way down from 51 the three clinics reported during a week in mid-November – when many of those testing positive were people who work at the clinics.
The Interior Alaska Medical Clinic, like two other Delta-area clinics, has had to adapt to operating with staff members out due to coronavirus quarantine – and others who ve had to undergo treatment for contracting COVID-19.

“I would say one-third of our employees got sick. They got it basically from the sick patients,” says Serge Domas, the Interior Alaska Medical Clinic’s business administrator.

When it comes to aviation fuel, the C-17 Globemaster III utilization rate makes it stand out as the largest consumer in the U.S. Air Force.
This is why a team at the 418th Flight Test Squadron, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., has been working for the past year on the Air Force Research Laboratory’s C-17 Drag Reduction Program.
The 418th FLTS is currently wrapping up testing with the final three phases out of five total using 3-D printed parts by Lockheed Martin. The Lockheed Martin installations use a combination of laser positioning for locating and sealant to bond the parts to the aircraft. The laser positioning allowed the team to skip the design and build of installation tooling that would only be used during flight testing according to test managers. The bonding simplifies the installation and more importantly leaves the aircraft in its pre-test condition after removal at the end of the flight test program.
