Globemasters

The Information about having 13 Globmasters on Travis is wrong. I work on base as Aircraft maintence for the KC-10 at Travis, and we just got a few stationed here a few months ago. I'm not sure of the exact number currently but I will hunt down the information. Its something like 4 Globmasters that just got transfered from the east coast.

Plagarism

Whoever wrote the introduction to this page took the entire text from the City of Fairfield, California Economic Development Division. You can see it here.

More than a decade later, that text caught my eye as promotional. I can't find that web site anymore, but I have no trouble believing this is plagiarized from the city, since that's exactly what it reads like. I've flagged it as promotional. —Alex ( Ashill | talk | contribs) 04:58, 11 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Military contract flights

This article is overwhelmingly focused on the military aircraft, however Travis was a major Pacific hub for a lot of charter airlines over the decades. It would be good to have a paragraph about what airlines used Travis. - Rolypolyman ( talk) 14:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC) reply

New aerial photo

Already this article already has a good aerial photo, I've recently uploaded another one, below. Feel free to use if useful. Dcoetzee 11:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC) reply

60th Aerial Port Squadron

The 60th Aerial Port Squadron has always been a major operator. Although not mention Aerial Port personnel prepared and shipped thousands of tons of air freight to Vietnam during the war. Thousands of military personnel passed through the Aerial Port Air Terminal and boarded Commercial Contract MAC flights for Vietnam. Most came home through this tiny Terminal. This activity continued for 10 years. The 60th Aerial Port is still in operation and deserves to be mention.

Maintenance Units

These units are from 2007, before the merge of EMS and CMS. I will update the units with the current title/mission. SandoLand ( talk) 23:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Missle Batteries

Sometime in the mid-sixties I happened to pass the battery on the Fairfield road (about where the side road top Cement Hill branched) and saw the cover doors open and a missle erected. It was clearly a Nike Hercules, as I recall, not an Ajax. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I don't think so. Perhaps someone with access to better sources should check this.

TAC Squadron

I didn't see any mention of the 82nd FI, which flew F-102s from Travis in the early sixties. Likewise, no mention of the 5th BW. UrbanCyborg ( talk) 07:59, 26 July 2019 (UTC) reply

Flights to Honolulu?

Using Flightrdar24, I can see that there are flights to Honolulu International Airport (HNL) by Atlas Air and Kalitta Air. Should we add them to the article? - User:Redoct87 ( talk) 2/2/22 8:58 (PST)
