Hurlburt Field Airpark opens to public
For the first time in roughly 20 years, Hurlburt Field Airpark is open to the public. 1st Special Operations Wing (1SOW) commander Col. Patrick Dierig, AFSOC commander Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, and others celebrated the reopening with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The ceremony, which featured multiple speakers and a delayed enlistment swearing-in ceremony, marked the end of a months long process to set up fencing around the airpark and refurbish the park’s displays and aircraft. Col. Dierig said he hopes the airpark can help tell the story of northwest Florida’s military history.
