The 370th Flight Test Squadron (370 FLTS) is part of the 413th Flight Test Group, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. A geographically separated unit, the 370 FLTS is located at Edwards Air Force Base, California, where it operates KC-135 & KC-46 for tanker test support, and operates B-1, C-12, C-17, F-16, F-35, RQ-4, T-38 to augment the flight & cyber test missions of the Air Force Test Center. Situated in the Southern California High Desert, the 370th was formed as part of the 307th Bombardment Group during World War II, the “Long Rangers”. Now known as the “Flyin’ Elvi”, it stood back up in 2001 to support flight test at Test Ops as an Air Force Reserve squadron.
