More than 18,000 flights happen here at McChord Field every year. Fog, snow, rain or shine, C-17 Globemaster IIIs are taking to the skies to fulfill the rapid global mobility mission set that America’s Airlift Wing upholds. A huge part of this is thanks to the 62d Operation Support Squadron’s air traffic control Airmen.
