Air Secrets
On 1 May 1949, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) became the parent major command for Travis AFB, turning it into a major long-range reconnaissance and intercontinental bombing installation for the 9th Bomb Group/9th Bomb Wing. The base’s former Strategic Air Command Alert Facility is a U.S. Following the end of World War II and the establishment of the U.S. The base’s primary mission during World War II was ferrying aircraft and supplies to the Pacific Theater. In October 1942, the War Department assigned the base to the Air Transport Command. On 1 January 1966, MATS was redesignated as the Military Airlift Command (MAC) and on 6 January 1966, the 60th Military Airlift Wing (60 MAW) replaced the 1501st ATW as the host unit. The Military Air Transport Service (MATS) resumed command of Travis AFB on 1 July 1958, after SAC’s new dispersal policy led to the transfer of the 14th Air Division to Beale AFB, California and the 1501st Air Transport Wing (Heavy) became the host unit.
The base’s host unit, the 60th Air Mobility Wing, is the largest wing in the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command, with a versatile fleet of 26 C-5 Galaxies, 24 KC-46 Pegasus, and 13 C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. The base is also host to the David Grant USAF Medical Center, a 265-bed, $200 million Air Force teaching hospital, which serves both in-service and retired military personnel. Travis AFB included approximately 7,390 active USAF military personnel, 3,260 Air Force Reserve personnel and 3,690 civilians. Seven were killed in the crash, all USAF personnel, six aboard the aircraft, and a motorist on the ground. The base was renamed Travis Air Force Base in 1951 for Brigadier General Robert F. Travis, who was killed when a B-29 Superfortress crashed shortly after takeoff on 5 August 1950. The ensuing fire caused the 10,000 pounds of high explosives in the plane’s cargo – a Mark 4 nuclear weapon (minus its nuclear core) – to detonate, killing General Travis and 18 others.
For the next nine years, airlift operations became secondary while Travis served as home for SAC bombers such as the B-29 Superfortress, B-36 Peacemaker, and eventually, the B-52 Stratofortress. As Travis was an important SAC base, it received anti-aircraft defenses in the 1950s. The 436th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion was active by 1955. The 436th AAAB was redesignated as an antiaircraft artillery missile battalion on 5 January 1957 and subsequently occupied four Nike Ajax sites, which went to 1st Missile Battalion, 61st Artillery on 1 September 1958. Controlling the SAMs was the 29th Artillery Group (Air Defense). Originally named Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Base, construction began on Travis in 1942. Originally, medium attack bombers were supposed to be stationed at the base. While air-cooled designs were common on light aircraft and trainers, as well as some transport aircraft and bombers, liquid-cooled designs remained much more common for fighters and high-performance bombers. More information and context were offered regarding the situation between Smith and Hubert and her exit when the two met for their conversation.
Hubert discussed the turmoil in her personal life, her abusive marriage and that she had not actually been fired by the show. The reunion show also features a tribute to James Avery, who died in 2013, that was shown to the surviving cast. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion” Early: Today at 5PM PT”.
