Lodging milestone
Members of the 919th Special Operations Wing applaud during Thursday's grand re-opening ceremony for the Duke Inn Visiting Quarters. The three-story lodging facility officially re-opened Thursday after an 18-month, $5.6 million renovation project brought state-of-the-art amenities to a facility that for years failed to meet Air Force lodging standards. The renovation, funded by Air Force Reserve Command, features 48 private rooms with full baths, queen-size beds, two handicapped-accessible rooms, a guest elevator and a lobby business center with computer access, a beverage bar and numerous other amenities.
