With Air Force Reserve Command deactivating its 913th Airlift Wing at NAS JRB Willow Grove, Pa., many military and civilian personnel are signing on with the Air National Guard. Lou Sessinger of The Intelligencer reports that many of them are joining the Air Guard’s 166th Airlift Wing in Delaware. He notes that Air Reserve boss, Lt. Gen. John Bradley, is encouraging the move.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
