00:04.040 --> 00:07.980
This is an Air Force support

00:07.980 --> 00:10.036
of Staff Sergeant Chris tucker . The

00:10.036 --> 00:12.091
Air Force is modernizing its warfare

00:12.091 --> 00:13.924
equipment and capabilities , and

00:13.924 --> 00:15.869
Ramstein Air base in Germany is no

00:15.869 --> 00:17.924
exception . Staff Sergeant Dan Ellis

00:17.924 --> 00:19.924
has more . Ramstein Air base is Air

00:19.924 --> 00:21.869
traffic control Tower is getting a

00:21.869 --> 00:25.860
facelift a face lift to

00:25.860 --> 00:29.700
the tune of about $300,000 . The

00:29.700 --> 00:31.811
old gear in the tower worked , but it

00:31.811 --> 00:33.756
was just kind of outdated . It was

00:33.756 --> 00:35.922
really designed back in 19 seventies .

00:35.922 --> 00:38.033
Since then , the Air Force has made a

00:38.033 --> 00:40.770
lot of uh upgrades to equipment and the

00:40.780 --> 00:42.947
old tower just couldn't hold that . It

00:42.947 --> 00:45.002
wasn't designed electrically for the

00:45.002 --> 00:47.113
load of equipment we put in and as we

00:47.113 --> 00:49.113
move forward , we're only gonna get

00:49.113 --> 00:51.336
more equipment , more advancements . As

00:51.336 --> 00:53.336
of now , the project is on time and

00:53.336 --> 00:55.447
within budget , the crew expect to be

00:55.447 --> 00:57.558
back to work and fully operational by

00:57.558 --> 00:59.613
