Welcome to our Anniversary and the 100th ARW. A big thank you to Col Tom Torkelson and 100th ARW for the Design. I think we need patches or shirts or both ?

http://www.mildenhall.af.mil/About-Us/F ... ng-historyShortly after taking on host wing responsibilities from the inactivated 513th Airborne Command and Control Wing, the 100th ARW also took on the European Tanker Task Force mission from the 306th Strategic Wing when it inactivated on March 31,1992. This meant the wing would control its own KC-135 aircraft as well as the KC-135s that rotated in and out of RAF Mildenhall under ETTF. Later that same year, the 100th ARW received the first of its own KC-135s. This one arrived May 22, 1992 with a second arriving June 2, 1992. It received a full complement of nine tankers in September 1992. The arrival of the wing's first permanent KC-135 was just in time for the 100th ARW's first air fete. This became an annual air show hosted on RAF Mildenhall. The timing of the Air Fete came very close to marking the fiftieth birthday of the 100th ARW. Because of proximity to the anniversary, the wing invited the members of the original 100th BG back to England to celebrate the air fete with the 100th ARW. Each air fete had a theme, and this one was "Remembered Skies."
Redesignated and activated as the 100th Air Refueling Wing, Feb. 1, 1992.
Lets hope it is made into a patch / nose art
