An F-35A assigned to the 33rd Fighter Wing fires an AIM-120 January 31, 2017, over in Air Force range space over the Gulf of Mexico. The 33 FW loaded and shot the first air-to-air missiles from an F-35A during a weapons system evaluation that took place at Tyndall Air Force Base later the same day. Carrying air-to-air missiles makes the F-35 a more versatile option for combatant commanders by securing the aircrafts survivability, in turn increasing likeliness of mission success.

U.S. Air Force Col. Audrin R. Walker, 96th Bomb Wing commander, delivers Altus Air Force Base’s first B-47 named “City of Altus”, April 19, 1955. Altus AFB began as a twin engine training base in World War II and since then has supported many air mobility, missile, and training missions as well as routinely deployed Airmen and aircraft overseas and to humanitarian missions.

With its flat terrain, steady winds and mild winters (for the most part), Altus was an ideal location for a training troop-transport and cargo pilots. It wouldn’t be until 1943 that the first planes would take to the skies. During their training in the World War II days, pilots spent about seven weeks learning to operate the twin-engine AT-10 before moving onto bombers and cargo aircraft. (Courtesy Photo)
