The 512th Airlift Wing’s 326th Airlift Squadron, one of two Air Force Reserve Command flying squadrons at Dover AFB, Delaware, flew its final C-5 Galaxy flight on 10 March. Lt. Col. Louis Patriquin, a pilot with more than 3,000 hours in the Galaxy, commanded the last flight. The 326th AS, which will convert to the C-17, has been flying the C-5 since the first Galaxy was delivered to Dover in 1973. Its sister squadron, the 709th Airlift Squadron, will continue to fly the C-5B. The squadron will eventually convert to the C-5M. The active duty squadron at Dover, the 436th AW’s 9th AS, will also continue to fly the C-5B/M. Dover’s C-5As have been reassigned to other units.
