MADISON, Wis. The 115th Fighter Wing awarded the first of 19 military construction contracts to a local building company ahead of the F-35 conversion in Madison.
According to a news release, J.H. Findorff & Sons will assist with the construction. The project is slated to begin in May and will include demolishing a 4,646 square foot facility to make room for a 19,000 square foot F-35 flight simulator facility. The project is estimated to take 18 months to complete and will cost $9 million.
“These full mission simulators are going to be a critical component of the F-35 mission,” said Lt. Col. Charles Merkel, vice commander of the 115th Fighter Wing. “They will be used for both initial pilot training and continuation training for as long as the F-35 is assigned to the unit.”
