CoverThe Virginia Air National Guard has left Richmond International Airport and moved what used to be the 192nd Fighter Group, now 192nd Fighter Wing (including the 149th Fighter Squadron) to Langley Air Force Base. But for about 60 years, on the “other side” of the Airport, various types of fighter aircraft were based and flown, mostly by Virginians, for the Air Force Reserve in defense of our country. On July 18, 2009 that service, that location and that dedication to duty were all recognized by the unveiling of a Department of Historic Resources marker now placed in a prominent place in front of the Virginia Aviation Museum at Richmond International Airport. This recognition effort was spearheaded by Bill Schultz, Chair of our Historic Marker Committee, sponsored by the Virginia Department of Aviation, researched by Jim Caiella and attended by the right people to receive the appreciative remarks.
