The 908th Airlift Wing celebrated the MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter and the unit’s efforts for the past three and a half years preparing for the transition from a tactical airlift mission to a formal training mission during a ceremony May 31, 2024, at Maxwell Air Force Base.

The event gave wing members, congressional staffers, local civic leaders and senior military members representing three different major commands a chance to see the new aircraft and learn about its importance to U.S. national defense.

During the event 908th AW Commander, Col. Christopher Lacouture, thanked all in attendance including military members from around the globe, industry leaders and experts, and local, state and national elected officials for celebrating with the unit.
