3550th FMS

The 3550th Field Maintenance Squadron (FMS) was an integral support unit assigned to the 3550th Flying Training Wing at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. Established during the Cold War era, the squadron provided essential aircraft maintenance, repair, and logistical support to ensure operational readiness of the wing's training aircraft, notably the T-33 Shooting Star and T-37 Tweet. Throughout its service, the 3550th FMS played a crucial role in supporting pilot training and sustaining high sortie rates. The squadron was eventually inactivated as part of broader Air Force organizational changes in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
