Hard at work

Moody Airmen work quickly to position a newly refurbished F-86L Sabre onto its display at the President George W. Bush Air Park at Moody Field in the early morning of June 12, 2012, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The historic aircraft arrived on a flat-bed truck April 25 from downtown Valdosta where it was known as a famous landmark that commemorated the late U.S. Air Force Maj. Lyn McIntosh and the heritage of the Flying Tigers. A re-dedication ceremony will be held with the McIntosh family present, forever placing the aircraft with other pieces of history at the air park. McIntosh, a Valdosta native, was one of five Airmen who died April 25, 1980, during Operation Eagle Claw, a mission ordered by President Jimmy Carter to rescue 52 Americans held captive in Iran.
