Improvements continue at Air Power Park. The F-100 Super Sabre was hoisted and moved today to a temporary platform while its new, elevated concrete platform is readied. The move is part of Phase III of the City’s nearly $2 million renovation of the park, partly funded by a Defense Department, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation grant.
In 2018, the city embarked on a project to rejuvenate the city’s iconic Air Power Park over five to six years. Aircraft restoration was completed in 2019. In 2020, a drainage plan was developed and the park entrance was improved. Remounting of all the aircraft at Air Power Park is expected to be completed by July.
Tucked in a residential neighborhood and in earshot of ab early childhood development center and the Y.H. Thomas Community Center, police also are limited to when they can practice.

HAMPTON, Va. Hampton said Tuesday that city offices would require appointments for most people who have business with the city because of the increase in COVID-19 cases in Hampton and across Hampton Roads. The appointments will be required beginning on Jan. 13.
The city said the step should increase safety for everyone, including staff members, by making sure no one has to wait in offices. Hampton said it would conduct as many transactions as possible online, by phone, and with dropboxes for paperwork.
