Grissom ARB, 72d ARS and 74th ARS, KC-135 poster art.

The 72d Air Refueling Squadron and 74th Air Refueling Squadron are sister squadrons flying the KC-135 under the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Indiana. In addition to worldwide deployments, air refueling and cargo missions, Grissom crews fly aeromed evac missions and maintain two 24-7-365 alert lines. Grissom is 50 min north of Indianapolis and is the largest refueling unit in the Air Force Reserves, with two flying squadrons and 16 tails. Grissom Air Reserve Base is named in memory of astronaut and Indiana native Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, who, along with fellow astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee, perished in the Apollo I fire at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 in 1967.
