Dayton and Cincinnati media learned about the mission of the 445th Airlift Wing Oct. 16. The media attended a mission brief, aircrew flight equipment demonstration, and an orientation flight that included a 445th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron and 89th Airlift Squadron training mission.

The day ended when the wing showcased the capability of its C-17 Globemaster III aircraft to “turn and burn” by the Citizen Airmen deplaning and offloading the AE equipment then having a new crew board and take off shortly after landing. The wing provides aeromedical evacuation and rapid strategic transport of people and equipment.
