September 27, 2008 - Tyrese Gibson
throws wrap-up party at the
Inn of the Mountain Gods. Tyrese is
excited about his role in Part II: "I was three ranks down in my Air
Force league in the first round, and now I’m master sergeant. I’ve got a
lot more to say, a lot more air strikes to bring in. My coms and my
cadence is on a whole other level." -

September 22, 2008 was
Transformers II Family Day at Holloman Air Force Base. AirForceTimes
reports:
Several prop vehicles used in the
movie were displayed on base. Rolled into Hangar 500 were the Chevrolet
Camaro that changes into the Transformer Bumblebee, a mockup of
Bumblebee himself and semi-truck that morphs into Optimus Prime.
About 200 airmen from Holloman worked off-duty as extras for
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” while filming was done at Holloman
and the adjacent White Sands Missile Range.
Also involved the filming were six F-16 Fighting Falcons flying
low-level mock attacks.
Members of the Holloman community look at Optimus Prime, a
character in the Transformers 2 movie, in Hangar 500 at Holloman Air
Force Base, N.M.
