The United States Air Force's 105th Airlift Wing is an Air National Guard airlift unit located at Stewart ANGB, New York.

Mission

To provide airlift operations to worldwide locations in peacetime and in war.

History

The 105th was organized on May 1, 1958 as the 105th Tactical Fighter Group. In 1961, it became the 105th Aeromedical Transport Group. It subsequently became part of Military Air Transport Services. Throughout the 1960s and 70's, the unit received and flew different aircraft with which to fly its mission. In 1987, the unit prepared to move to its present home at Stewart Air National Guard Base. On May 1, 1984, it was redesignated the 105th Military Airlift Group. In July 1985 the unit made the largest leap, in terms of size, of aircraft possible. The unit changed from flying the O-2A Skymaster to the C-5A Galaxy. Over the years it has flown numerous humanitarian missions as well as supporting operations for the military.¹ During the Hurricane Katrina relief operations, 105th flew the 12 missions delivering about 1.5 million pounds of cargo and 400 passengers in support of the relief effort.²
