Fairchild AFB 509th WPS Art vintage style military aviation travel poster by Squadron Posters!
Fairchild Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base, located in the northwest United States in eastern Washington, approximately twelve miles southwest of Spokane. The host unit at Fairchild is the 92nd Air Refueling Wing (92 ARW) assigned to the Air Mobility Command’s Eighteenth Air Force. The 92 ARW is responsible for providing air refueling, as well as passenger and cargo airlift and aero-medical evacuation missions supporting U.S. and coalition conventional operations as well as U.S. Strategic Command strategic deterrence missions.
Fairchild AFB was established 84 years ago in 1942 as the Spokane Army Air Depot and is named in honor of General Muir S. Fairchild (1894–1950); a World War I aviator from the state, he was the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force. During the Cold War, Fairchild was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base for 45 years (1947–1992), with bombers and tankers, as well as missiles for a brief period (1960–1965). Since 1942, Fairchild Air Force Base/Station has been a key part of the United States’ defense strategy from World War II repair depot, to Strategic Air Command bomber wing during the Cold War, to Air Mobility Command air refueling wing during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Today, Fairchild’s aircraft and personnel make up the backbone of the Air Force’s tanker fleet on the west coast. Check out this stunning Fairchild AFB 509th WPS Art by Squadron Posters!
