The 97th Training Squadron manages the 97th Air Mobility Wing’s $1.98-billion contracted aircrew training program for 275 assigned instructors and 2100 C-17, KC-135 and KC-46 students from the United States and 16 countries. The squadron activated for the first time Jan. 20, 1994, at Altus Air Force Base, Okla., and inherited the mission of the inactivated 330th Flying Training Squadron. It also became responsible for the KC-135 Central Flight Instructor Course following the stand down of the Strategic Air Command. In August 2002, the Basic Load Master schoolhouse moved from Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas to Altus Air Force Base, Okla. Each year, they trained 320 Active, Guard and Reserve members through their three-level basic loadmaster qualifications, until the loadmaster schoolhouse relocated to Lackland Air Force Base, Texas in 2007.
