Stay informed.  Stay focused.  Press on with the mission.  Whatever and wherever.

Stay informed. Stay focused. Press on with the mission. Whatever and wherever.

Teammates - Congress has passed a continuing resolution (CR) to ensure the government stays open for the next 45 days. While this is not the most ideal outcome we could hoped for, it is one that will ensure our Airmen, and families continue to receive pay and benefits as Congress works to pass a defense spending bill.

What this means is that the federal government will not shutdown at midnight. Instead a CR allows for partial funding of the government and gives the congress until 17 Nov 23 to pass a budget.

While this comes as a relief to many, it’s still important to stay connected...check on each other...know the support & resources available, and stay dialed in with your chains of command.

During this month's UTA weekend, Airmen from across the wing took a TCCC training course. TCCC stands for "Tactical Combat Casualty Care."

Airmen learned how to using tourniquets and combat gauze, as well as how to identify and treat other injuries that could occur when in the field or out and about during day-to-day life. TCCC is an essential course that all Airmen are required to take every 36 months, or within 12 months of a deployment.

Our tankers undergo periodic inspections to ensure they are safe and mission ready. Here at the 914th Maintenance Squadron’s Non-Destructive Inspection facility, TSgt Patrick Griffin and SSgt Mathew Flores carefully inspect critical aircraft parts to ensure each part is ready to fly.

The part is soaked in a viscous chemical solution which seeps into every crack. Once rinsed, it’s inspected under UV light and reveals imperfections that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through NFARS not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…well except for the few Airmen still on the base, like our Defenders who had an interesting weekend.

A driver from El Cubliete showed up Friday morning right as the storm kicked off and dropped off a full Christmas Eve meal. TSgt Schneider noting, “we didn’t order it, they just showed up out of the kindness of their hearts. Driver had guts.”

The shot from the truck is a defender on the flight line. Keeping watch—even when they can’t see anything with the snow!

Then the storm ripped off a panel from the Tuscarora Gate…don’t worry, they got it back.

Gassing up after a long night in the trucks.

And a selfie with eight KC-135s standing strong.

Thanks for keeping NFARS safe out there, folks—hope you get home soon.

🤜🤛🎄🥶🌨️

Merry Christmas all! Looks like Santa made it through the storm after all. 🌨️🥶🎅🎁🎄

Huge thanks to the emergency responders of WNY working through the night. Many of our members are still on NFARS from Friday keeping the mission going. Thank you for keeping watch and hope you make it home soon!

We’ll see if we can find some pictures to share.

Stay warm!

What day are the air crafts landing at NAFB for the Buffalo air show?
TSGT Retired in 2009, Base Photographer on the 914th side for 14 years. I like looking at photographs from around the base. I often wonder, does the picture taker know the meaning of a pose before it's taken. Thus the 5 standing in front of the plain, folding arms means, "Stay Away" thus a powerful statement means were powerful and don't bother us. For those that remember me, I'm still a professional photographer in my 30th year. I was proud to serve and wish I stayed in.
Good Afternoon. Could I please get the contact information (phone and email) for
1. Recruiting Office
2. Education Office

Thank you
My crew and I just supported a 914th request to fly a flag over the AOR. Certificates will be signed tomorrow and we’ll be sending it your way soon. Maybe you can me know where it’s displayed so I can find it next time I’m home! 😀
I was with the 914th 1981 thru 1991 as the SUPT. of Airfield MGT. Transferred to the IMA program at Langley AFB. with the AFRCC. 1991 2005.. Prior to IAG. I was with the 928th in Chicago in base ops.1977 to 1981.. Prior to the USAFR. I served active duty USMC 1965 / 1971. Retired as a CMS. at Langley 2005...34 years total military service.
Wondering when someone will be in the offices to be able to answer a sent message??
VIDEO Salute to Western New York with one United States Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker from the 914th Air Refueling Wing and three United States Air National Guard F-35 Lightning II’s from the 158th Fighter Wing of the Vermont Air National Guard performing flyovers over the majority of American hospitals and memorial centres in western New York.

The flyovers from our end were filmed south of the Queenston-Lewiston bridge at the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station with amazing results. Three passes by us in total including the return of each aircraft to their respective bases.

Enjoy the video and a huge props to all the crews for pulling this off!
Thank you for the flyover at Chautauqua Lake today and for all you people do.
