[edit] Dover AFB, DE

I am stationed at Dover and while reading this article I noticed that it states:

It is the only base to solely operate the massive C-5 Galaxy, with two active squadrons (the 3rd Airlift and 9th Airlift) and one Reserve (the 512th).

This is not technically correct. It actually has 4 Squadrons assigned to 2 Wings. The Active duty has the 436th Airlift Wing containing the 3rd and 9th Squadrons and the Reserve has the 512th Airlift Wing containing the 326th and 709th Squadrons. I tried to edit but was unsuccessful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.150.19.66 (talk) 04:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

Well its untrue any way now that they have C-17's. I was part of the 3rd ALS back in 02-03 and wrote the inital artical, I'll get around to updateing it at some point. FLJuJitsu 23:55, 30 Aug 2007
