27TH OMS

The 27th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (27th OMS) was a key support unit within the United States Air Force, primarily assigned to the 27th Tactical Fighter Wing at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron was responsible for the organizational-level maintenance of tactical fighter aircraft, ensuring their readiness for worldwide deployment. Throughout its service, the 27th OMS played a critical role in maintaining the operational effectiveness of various aircraft, including the F-100 Super Sabre, F-111 Aardvark, and later the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The unit was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of broader Air Force restructuring and the consolidation of maintenance functions in the 1990s.
