sprinkled with Hawaiian tradition the four major sections for Hickam Air Force Base’s first C-17 were joined Friday factory where the giant airlifter is assembled “We’re amazed at the effort and dedication it takes to put this air-plane together,” said Major General Robert Lee adjutant general of the State of Hawaii and the commander of the Hawaii National Guard “The industrial might of the United States of America is alive and well in the C-17 workforce in Long Beach.” as well as a large delegation of civic and military leaders from Honolulu were on hand for the event Major join is a significant milestone in the aircraft’s assembly as it’s the first time the C-17 actually looks like an airplane the aircraft will be the U.S.Air Force’s 146th C-17 and the first based outside of the continental United States “We would welcome as many Boeing employees as possible to come to Honolulu for our delivery next year,” said Lee drawing boisterous applause from employees “We want to return your hospitality.” The celebration aircraft is the first of eight C17s destined for Hickam The seven C-17s that follow it will arrive in Honolulu approximately every three to four weeks- until the squadron is complete in mid2006 The base’s C-17s are the first of 16 destined for the Pacific Air Forces The other eight will go to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska said the C-17’s long-range capabilities will address one of the Pacific Air Forces’ biggest challenges – spanning 14 time zones What he called “the tyranny of distance.” described the C-17 as “the centerpiece of our transformation The C-17s are going to set the pace for the rest of the Air Force,” he said Hickam’s new C-17s will be jointly operated by the Air Force’s 15th Airlift Wing and the Hawaii Air National Guard’s 154th Wing It’s a unique arrangement that marks the first time C17 s will be delivered to an organization outside Air Mobility Command Hawaii’s C-17s will be under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Air Forces presented the C-17 workforce with an outrigger paddle – a symbolic connection between the Boeing employees and the soon-to-be users of the aircraft quality and durability,” said Pawling “All of you are the paddle builders and we want to thank you.” The year also brought the first C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft The Spirit of Hawaii was the first of eight C-17 aircraft to make Hickam its home as part of the first active duty and Air National Guard classic associate units The Hawaii Air National Guard and the 15th Airlift Wing began developing a working relationship with the arrival of the C-17 simulator the opening of the C-17 Maintenance Complex and the completion of the first C-17 Home Station Check the HIANG said farewell to the C-130 after 20 years of service Squatrito-Martin Somebody said that it couldn’t be done Let’s see if the 15th Airlift Wing and the Hawaii Air National Guard’s 154th Wing can fly.” So Airmen buckled down and step by step began to make the C-17 Globemaster Ill’s arrival at Hickam Air Force Base a reality The C-17 Globemaster Ill’s arrival Feb 8 is predominately due to the determination and dedication of active duty and guardsmen alike who have been training and working since the C-17 ground breaking ceremony Aug With a 17-month break between the ground breaking and actual arrival of the aircraft you can rest assured that no one was waiting around to start training While Hickam’s first C-17 was being built in Long Beach Airmen were already learning to fly and load the C-17 aircraft pilots and loadmasters are sent to Altus Air Force Base where they spend about four months training on the aircraft the HIANG members go to McChord Air Force Base to deploy with those units in an effort to develop their proficiency “We have flown throughout the Pacific and the Continental United States but our most common missions are in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom,” said Lt The C-17 crews have been bringing rebuilding supplies flying troops home and flying Aeromedical Evacuation flights The transition from the C-130 to the C-17 has been and continues to be a busy time for the HIANG Crew members are being asked to be away from home for over six months this year and I am very proud of what the members have given up for this transition “We have flown about 5,000 hours in the C-17 with 1,500 hours of combat time,” said Lt So far there are about 10 pilots and 20 loadmasters trained and ready for the C-17 s arrival About that same number are currently in training Besides being capable of rapidly and strategically delivering troops and various types of cargo for combat purposes the C-17 aircraft is also known for performing humanitarian missions our crews are well prepared to immediately contribute to the global mobility mission,” said Lt with the arrival of the first and second C17 Globemaster Ills to be housed at Hickam Air Force Base Thousands gathered on the flightline in front of the 15th Airlift Wing’s operations center Feb the very first of Hickam ‘s C-17s to arrive the Ke Aloha along with the second Globemaster Ill which was unofficially named the Hawaii 2 by Boeing representatives sealed the 15th Airlift Wing and 154th Wing partnership at Hickam Air Force Base “It’s a whole new world at Hickam Air Force Base,” said Capt C-17 pilot from the 535th Airlift Squadron This is the first time the C-17 will make its home outside the continental United States “It makes so much sense having the C-17s stationed at Hickam Air Force Base we’ 11 be able to effectively support all the service branches of our American military” said Brig Both the Active Duty and the Hawaii Air National Guard are joining forces to bring the rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo under all sorts of conditions to all kinds of places “The C-17 will support missions wherever anyone needs our help,” said Tech Hawaii Air Nation.al Guard member and designated crew chief of Ke Aloha With an overall 60/40 split between active duty and guard the partnership between the two will allow ample support for the National Guard’s state mission which distinguishes them from their active duty counterparts “Not only will we use C-17 s in a joint manner to support all of our military forces but in my other responsibility in homeland security our response in the State of Hawaii is going to be so much improved,” said Maj Hawaii state adjutant General during the second C-17 ceremony “Our 93rd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team can take its entire team and all of its equipment on one C-17 fly anywhere within the State of hawaii and need be fly throughout the Pacific in case of biological or nuclear disaster,” said Maj The C-l 7s
