The 17th Airlift Squadron is part of the 437th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base Charleston South Carolina. It operates C-17 “Globemaster III” aircraft supporting the United States Air Force global reach mission world wide. The 17th Airlift Squadron began its existence at Hamilton Field, California in February 1942 as the 17th Air Corps Ferrying Squadron and has since flown a variety of aircraft to include the C-46, C-47, C-54, C-124, C-141 and C-17. Though the aircraft and name of the squadron have changed over the years, the job of the 17th AS has always been air transport.  In June of 1993 the 17th AS became the first operational squadron to take delivery of the Boeing/McDonnell Douglas C-17A Globemaster III.
