About This Event

Join us as we tour the Greensboro Airlift Response Center at PTI Airport

  • The 757 and DC-8 cargo planes are based in the new Greensboro Airlift Response Center.
  • The more than 62,000-square-foot response center is comprised of a 55,500-square-foot hangar, including 46,000 square feet of aircraft parking space, and approximately 6,700 square feet of office space.
  • The facility is staffed by 21 people, including pilots, flight engineers, load masters, maintenance personnel, and additional flight support staff.
  • The response center provides the space for maintenance personnel to perform a wide range of aircraft maintenance activities on the DC-8 and 757, which expedites response times.
