Throughout over seventy-years (activated) history, “Nomads” accomplished numerous firsts for the Air Force and have played a crucial role in maintaining the security of the nation skies and participated in its largest contingencies…they relocated to different corners of the U.S. and the world projecting air superiority and taking the fight to the nation’s adversaries…today Nomads carry-on the tradition of excellence by providing the Air Force with combat ready F-35 pilots, Maintenance personnel, Air Battle Managers, Weapons Directors, and F-35 Intelligence professionals.
