After looking at locations in Florida, Wilbur came to Montgomery, Alabama in February 1910 and decided to open the nation’s first civilian flying school on an old cotton plantation near Montgomery that subsequently become Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB).

  • 502Nd AIR BASE WING
    502nd AIR BASE WING MISSION 502nd Air Base Wing (ABW), serves as the host wing for Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), which was comprised of four major locations: JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, JBSA-Randolph, JBSA-Lackland, and JBSA-Camp Bullis, as well as several other smaller sites. JBSA stretched across the San Antonio area and none of the major locations shared a common boundary. In all, the wing provided installation support and services to more than 200 mission partners and more than 100,000 permanent party personnel, students, and dependents, as well as 33,000 civilian employees, 35,000 retirees, and more than 200,000 veterans in the greater San Antonio area. The gamut of installation support functions provided by the 502 ABW included civil engineering, communications, personnel administration and sustainment, morale and welfare programs, logistics, security, financial management, legal support, public affairs, chaplain services, and installation safety programs. Medical services for JBSA fell under the umbrella of the San Antonio Military Health System (SAMHS), which was not a part of the 502 ABW. In turn, components of SAMHS, including the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and the 59th Medical Wing and their subordinate units were supported by the 502 ABW.
