'Star Wars' Showing Kicks off New Aviano Facility

"AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy — It already smells like popcorn. But the floors aren’t sticky. The newest facility at a base where seemingly everything else is new opens Friday with a triple screening of “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.” The $3.4 million complex, which will serve as a theater and mass briefing facility, is a long time coming. It was one of five projects in the massive Aviano 2000 construction project that were left in the lurch when an Italian company building them ran out of money. Bulfinger-Berger, a Germany-based construction company, took over and will turn over several of the projects to the Air Force this summer." Source: estripes.com
