FB111 flight simulator
U.S. Air Force
The FB111 Flight Simulator unit was established during the 1970s to support training for aircrews assigned to the General Dynamics FB-111A strategic bomber, a key asset in the United States Air Force’s Strategic Air Command. The simulator provided realistic training environments, allowing pilots and navigators to practice complex bombing missions, electronic warfare, and emergency procedures without risking actual aircraft or crew. Over the years, advancements in simulator technology increased training effectiveness and contributed to the operational readiness of FB-111A squadrons. With the eventual retirement of the FB-111A in the early 1990s, the flight simulator unit was decommissioned, having played a vital role in preparing crews for Cold War deterrence missions.

U.S. Air Force
The Finance/Computer Office at F.E. Warren Air Force Base has played a critical role in supporting the base’s mission since its establishment. Originally focused on financial management and pay operations for personnel, the unit expanded its scope in the late 20th century to include computer systems management and cybersecurity, ensuring secure and efficient data processing. During periods of modernization, the office spearheaded the implementation of advanced accounting software and digital communication platforms, streamlining administrative operations across the installation. Today, the Finance/Computer Office remains essential in maintaining fiscal responsibility and technological readiness for the 90th Missile Wing and its support units.
First Flight Detachment
U.S. Air Force
The First Flight Detachment was a pioneering aviation unit established by the United States Navy in 1911 at Annapolis, Maryland. Comprised of a small group of naval officers and enlisted men, the unit was tasked with exploring the use of aircraft for naval operations. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Theodore G. Ellyson, the Navy's first aviator, the detachment conducted early experiments in seaplane flight, takeoffs, and landings. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the development of naval aviation, leading to the formation of the first official naval air stations and the expansion of aviation roles within the U.S. Navy.

The First Organizational Maintenance Squadron (First OMS) at Selfridge Air Force Base, Michigan, played a vital role in supporting United States Air Force operations during the Cold War era. Tasked with providing aircraft maintenance, inspections, and repairs, the unit ensured mission readiness for various fighter and bomber squadrons stationed at Selfridge. The First OMS maintained aircraft such as the F-106 Delta Dart and KC-135 Stratotanker, contributing to air defense and aerial refueling missions. Through its dedication and technical expertise, the squadron upheld the operational capability of Selfridge AFB until organizational changes and realignments led to its inactivation.

Activated on 1 July 1968 at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado, it played a crucial role in the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), managing missile warning, space surveillance, and satellite tracking during the Cold War. The unit coordinated with both U.S. and Canadian defense organizations to monitor and protect North American airspace against potential threats. The Fourteenth Aerospace Force HQ was inactivated on 1 October 1976, with its missions and responsibilities transferred to other commands as part of a broader restructuring of Air Force space operations.
German Air Force
U.S. Air Force
The German Air Force, known as the Luftwaffe, was originally established in 1935, becoming a central component of Nazi Germany’s military might during World War II.
