63rd OMS

The 63rd Organizational Maintenance Squadron (63rd OMS) was a unit of the United States Air Force assigned to the 63rd Military Airlift Wing. Activated during the Cold War, the squadron was stationed at Norton Air Force Base, California, and was responsible for the organizational-level maintenance of the wing's aircraft, primarily the C-141 Starlifter. The 63rd OMS played a critical role in supporting global airlift missions, ensuring the operational readiness of aircraft for deployments, humanitarian aid, and strategic airlift operations. The unit remained active throughout much of the late 20th century before being inactivated following the closure of Norton AFB in the early 1990s.
