The 79th Air Refueling Squadron is a United States Air Force Reserve squadron assigned to the 349th Operations Group , stationed at Travis Air Force Base , California. They currently fly the brand new KC – 46A Pegasus, one of the nation’s most versatile mobility weapon system, providing combat air refueling and global cargo/passenger operations, extending America’s airpower worldwide! Their heritage goes all the way back to WWII where they participated in D – Day flying the C – 47 Skytrain 42 – 100521 “Night Fright” to drop the 101st Airborne Division paratroops near Cherbourg Naval Base back when they were known as the “Fightin’ 79th .” The 79th was assigned to March AFB in 1982 to fly the McDonnell Douglas KC – 10 Extender before being reassigned to Travis AFB in 1995. The 79th flew the KC – 10 until its retirement in 2024.

Travis Air Force Base, known as the “Gateway to the Pacific,” is a vital hub for global airlift operations, supporting missions across the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Located in Northern California, the base houses the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the largest in Air Mobility Command, and is unique in operating four airframes: the C-5M Super Galaxy, the C-17 Globemaster III, the KC-10 Extender and now the KC-46 Pegasus. Travis AFB’s mission emphasizes rapid global mobility, delivering personnel, supplies, and medical assistance worldwide. Additionally, the base is a strategic center for aeromedical evacuation and humanitarian aid. Its key location and comprehensive capabilities make it essential to the U.S. Air Force’s global reach.
The Boeing KC-46 Pegasus is an American military aerial refueling and strategic military transport aircraft developed by Boeing from its 767 jet airliner. In February 2011, the tanker was selected by the United States Air Force as the winner in the KC-X tanker competition to replace older Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers. The first aircraft was delivered to the USAF in January 2019. Check out this stunning Travis AFB 79th ARS Art by Squadron Posters!
