The 457th Airlift Squadron will be celebrating 75 years! The squadron can trace it's lineage from the 457th Bombardment Squadron, flying B-29s in WWII to the Vietnam Era "Hustlers" flying the C-7A Caribou. Today, the squadron provides exceptional airlift support to our nation's military leaders flying the C-21. We are inviting 457 AS Alumni from all eras to a formal dinner and presentation to honor all those that have been a part of this exceptional team.
