New 731st AS CC

Col. Robert Stanton, 302nd Operations Group commander, left, passes the 731st Airlift Squadron guidon to Lt. Col. Robert Fairbanks as he assumes command of the 731st AS during a change of command ceremony at Peterson Air Force base, Colo., June 4, 2017. Fairbanks is a traditional Air Force reservist and command pilot with more than 7,100 military flying hours and over 10 years supporting the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System mission. “The priorities I set as a commander are to aviate, navigate and communicate,” said Fairbanks during his first address to the Reserve Citizen Airmen he now leads. “We have to fly the airplane first, successfully navigate our lives, and communicate with each other to build trust.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
