The 914th Airlift Wing at Niagara Falls ARS, N.Y., is wrapping up its final airlift rotation to al Udeid AB, Qatar, before it transitions from the C-130 to KC-135 Stratotankers, according to a release. The 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron and the 746th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit supported over 1,000 flight hours in support of Operation Inherent Resolve just within the last three months.
