Corvette enthusiasts visit Alamo Wing

By Benjamin Faske 433rd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The 433rd Airlift Wing recently hosted about 65 members from the National Corvette Restorers Society here at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, July 13, 2017.

These Corvette enthusiasts, who come from all over the United States, were in town for their national convention but wanted to make a quick stop at the Alamo Wing.

The tour began with a C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft tour, followed by a visit to the 341st Training Squadron, and a self-guided tour of the United States Air Force Airman Heritage Museum and Enlisted Character Development Center.

During the C-5 tour members had the chance to walk through cargo hold, troop compartment and flight deck.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the C-5 tour. Being able to get into the cockpit was really cool," said Jonna Clark, a NCRS member. "My husband was an Army guy so this Air Force museum tour to me is very interesting."

While at the 341st TRS, the group got to witness a Military Working Dog controlled aggression demonstration.

The last stop was a self-guided tour of the United States Air Force Airman Heritage Museum and Enlisted Character Development Center. Here, members got a chance to see the evolution of the Air Force and the history of basic military training.

Brad Hudson, a NCRS member form Chicago, Ill., enjoyed visiting the 341st TRS.

"I liked watching the dog demonstration. I thought it was interesting because you don't see that in the Air Force, " said Hudson. "I also thought the C-5 tour was marvelous. When I saw it, I was overwhelmed at how large it really is."
