29th OMS

The 29th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (29th OMS) was an Air Force unit activated to provide aircraft maintenance support, primarily for bomber and tanker aircraft, during the Cold War era. Assigned to the 29th Bombardment Wing at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, the squadron played a crucial role in maintaining the operational readiness of the wing's B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft. The 29th OMS ensured that aircraft were properly inspected, serviced, and repaired to support both training and strategic alert missions. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of broader Air Force restructuring and changes in strategic priorities.
