302nd Airlift Wing Photos

MAFFS approved

Lt. Gen. Charles Stenner, Jr., proudly presents his modular airborne firefighting system, or 'MAFFS' coin and patch Nov. 12 after a system's orientation flight at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. General Stenner, commander of the Air Force Reserve, visited the base to gain a better understanding of the wing and its sister unit, the 310th Space Wing, based at Schriever AFB, Colo. Together with a demonstration flight on the firefighting system, the general also held a question-and-answer session at the base's club. The MAFFS system is used in wild land firefighting missions when called up to support state officials in the U.S. when all other firefighting methods have been exhausted.
