“Schriever AFB Colorado” vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
Schriever AFB is located approximately 10 miles east of Colorado Springs, Colorado. After announcing in early 1981 that a military space systems control facility would be built, Falcon AFS became home to that facility, the Consolidated Space Operations Center. Beginning in 1987, operational functions began transferring to Falcon AFS units. On June 13, 1988, Falcon AFS was re-designated Falcon AFB. On June 5, 1998, Falcon AFB was renamed Schriever AFB in honor of retired Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, who pioneered the development of the nation’s ballistic missile programs and is recognized as “the father of the U.S. Air Force’s space and missile program.”
