Selfridge Tankers Return Home

Three KC-135 Stratotankers are shown parked on the flight line at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., July 17, 2011. The Selfridge-based tankers - and the Citizen-Airmen who fly, operate and maintain them - have been away from the base on several short-term deployments in 2011, including flying operations from bases in Germany, Guam and southwest Asia supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The tankers at Selfridge are flown and maintained by the 127th Air Refueling Group, a component of the Michigan Air National Guard's 127th Wing. The KC-135s and their crews provide a variety of aerial refueling, cargo and troop transport and aeromedical evacuation capabilities to the U.S. Armed Forces. (USAF photo by SrA Brittany Simon)

A-10s Ready

An A-10 Thunderbolt II takes off from Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., July 12, 2011, on a training mission flown by the 107th Fighter Squadron, Michigan Air National Guard. The 127th Wing at Selfridge recently passed a major milestone when the Wing’s A-10s were declared Initial Operating Capable in late June. Typically, a wing spends three years in the formal conversion process from one aircraft to another before reaching IOC status. The 127th Wing began converting to the A-10 in early 2009 and declared IOC status after 2.5 years. Previously, the wing’s fighter squadron had flown F-16 Falcon aircraft. “The men and women of the 127th Maintenance Group and the 127th Operations Group have done a marvelous job rising to the challenge and the milestone we passed on June 30 proves they have what it takes to operated this weapon system, should they be called to the fight,” said Col. Gregory S. Holzhei, 127th Maintenance Group commander. The A-10, also known as the Warthog, is the Air Force’s primary air-to-ground attack aircraft. In addition to the A-10, the 127th Wing also flies the KC-135 Stratotanker, an aerial refueler, at Selfridge. (USAF photo by John Swanson)
