The 730th Air Mobility Squadron is a unit of the 715th Air mobility Operations Group, based at Hickam AFB, HI. Prior to being activated as the 730th AMS, the squadron was designated as the 630th Air Mobility Support Squadron[AMSS]. The change in designation became effective on March 15, 2001, when the 630th AMSS was inactivated and the 730th AMS activated at Yokota AB. The change was enacted to better reflect the role of the unit as more operational than support oriented. Six years previous to the unit's inactivation, the 630th AMSS provided fixed, deployed command and control, aerial port, and maintenance required for the United States' Global Reach in the western Pacific. The squadron is part of AMC's enroute system to provide fixed and deployed maintenance, aerial port and command and control support to deployed AMC forces. The squadron's mission is to provide critical enroute services to deployed forces worldwide. - www.globalsecurity.org

I made this poster for my buddy Chance Hansen, he was my roommate during college, pilot training, and one of my groomsmen. You can see a pic of us in the gallery at Chance's wedding, 'cheers' Chance. This C-130 poster is dedicated to the hard working men and women of the 36th Airlift Squadron "Eagle Airlifters", 374th Operations Group, 374th Airlift Wing, stationed at Yokota Air Base, Japan. They fly training airdrop missions near Mt Fuji and this poster is actually based on a photo Chance sent me which is also attached in the gallery. "Thanks for all you guys do."  -Nick
