908th Airlift Wing to Train USAF Students on New MH-139As
Montgomery Alabama's Maxwell AFB has been chosen as the home of the first MH-139A Grey Wolf training unit. The new helo was unveiled in 2020 as the upcoming replacement for the long-lived - but long in the tooth - UH-1N Huey. In 2020 Air Force assigned the unit as a training flight which would pull double duty in providing security and support for the series of intercontinental ballistic missile fields spanning Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado and Nebraska. The unit's MH-139 mission replaces the Reserve’s 908th Airlift Wing and its C-130Hs.
