Fast, commander of Fourth Air Force, gestures toward the three aircraft flown by the 349th Air Mobility Wing, the KC-46A Pegasus, C-17 Globemaster III and C-5M Super Galaxy, parked on display outside the hangar during the wing's assumption of command ceremony, July 11, 2026. During his remarks, Fast highlighted the wing's global air mobility mission and the capabilities these aircraft provide while welcoming Col. Matthew J. Ihlenfeld as the wing's new commander.
