Joint Force Refueling!🕶️

F/A-18 pilots participated in the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course hosted by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One.
This provides instructors advanced tactical training/certification to support Marine Aviation Training and Readiness.

Fan-stache-tic!🥸
On Monday, Team Fairchild hosted a Mustache Dash for Airmen and their families to support the four pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness: mental, physical, social and spiritual health. Participants ran one mile and some chose to shave off their mustaches!

Did you know? 🧠

The KC-135 Stratotanker has a cargo area easily capable of holding a bowling alley, with enough room left over for a gallery of spectators.

They can even transfer more fuel in 8 minutes than a gas station could pump in 24 hours!😮

The 92nd Air Refueling Wing Innovation Cell compiled a Tanker Generation Team to develop Mission Ready Airmen and certify in hot-pit refueling during exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-1, in Victorville, California Jan. 29-Feb. 1, 2024.

Little recap of everything Team Fairchild accomplished in 2023 😎

Just know, we aren't slowing down in 2024 💪✈️

This week Col. Dycus and CMSgt Arcuri, and other base leaders, visited many of our deployed Airmen. Thank you for all the hard work you're doing downrange. We're excited to have you back home!

‼️MARK YOUR CALENDARS‼️

The long awaited SkyFest'24 Open house and Air Show will be happening June 22-23! ✈️ Skyfest'24 will feature the U.S. Air Force A10 Demonstration Team, as well as other exciting attractions!

Talk about showing off 😎

The 509th Weapons Squadron partnered with the 92nd Operations Group to provide aerial refueling to the Weapons School Integration course at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. ✈️

Members of the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency collected over $10,000 worth of toys for less fortunate children as part of their annual toy drive. 🪀

In exchange for donating toys, shoppers got to make the JPRA members do deadlifts, pull-ups, push-ups or kettlebell exercises. 🏋️

Let's give a huge round of applause to our newest Chief Master Sergeant selects Watson, Runyon, O'Day, and Beran! 👏 This achievement reflects the caliber of Airmen capable of serving in leadership roles as the top 1% of our Active Duty Enlisted force.

Looking back at November's accomplishments 💪

“We ran 24-hour operations for a week, generated 21 aircraft and demonstrated our ability to deploy personnel and conduct our mission from anywhere,” said Col. Chesley Dycus, 92nd ARW commander.

Teamwork makes the refueling dream work 😏
