Air Force Reserve Command officials shut down the C-141 StarLifter schoolhouse at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in October. Officially called the C-141 Formal Training Unit, the school had been managed by the 445th Airlift Wing. Training was discontinued as the C 141 will be retired next year. The Air Force moved the school to Wright-Patterson from Altus AFB, Oklahoma, where it had been since the 1960s, in late 2001. The 445th AW unit will still run a C-141 flight simulator for training, but it will eventually be dismantled to make room for a C-5A simulator. The 445th AW will begin conversion to the Galaxy later this year.
