Col. Robert Kuckuk, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma commanding officer, talks to participants in the topping off ceremony, in which steel workers attached the highest piece of steel to the world's first operational Joint Strike Fighter hangar, Nov. 20. The beam was first signed by key personnel to the construction project, before being hoisted in place with a crane. Just one month ago, there was nothing but footings sticking out of the ground. The project, which would normally taking upward of 18 months to complete, is scheduled to take only 10 months and be completed in March 2012. This hangar is the first of four scheduled to be built in Yuma.
