Airmen from the 133rd Operations Group recently traveled to the Channel Islands to train alongside members of the 146th Operations Group. The event strengthened aircrew and aeromedical integration, expanded C-130J experience, and reinforced the value of learning together in a new operating environment.

When wildfires threatened northern Minnesota, communication was a matter of life and safety.

Airmen from the 133rd Security Forces Squadron teamed up with the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport Police and Fire departments for an active shooter exercise at the 133rd Airlift Wing.

Supporting our Airmen means supporting the mission.

Employers of 133rd Airlift Wing Airmen got a firsthand look at what we do during a Minnesota Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve event, including a flight aboard a C-130H Hercules.

Thank you to the employers who support our Airmen — both at work and in uniform. 🇺🇸

Keeping our aircraft mission-ready starts with the details. 🔧

Avionics Airmen remove an emergency transmitter locator (ETL) to replace its battery, a maintenance requirement completed every five years to ensure the equipment is ready when needed.

It’s one of the many behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our aircraft and Airmen ready to fly.
