Altus AFB OK VHF/UHF Channelization

Now that my friends is one heck of an elephant walk. All the 29 aircraft involved in the Elephant Walk at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, on Apr. 2, 2021. (Image credit: Rob Stephens / @RedhomeAviation)

The 97th Air Mobility Wing's primary mission is being the Strategic Airlift and Air Refueling Training School for the nation's KC-46 Pegasus, C-17 Globemaster III and KC-135 Stratotanker. They maintain approximately 550 mobility positions available for immediate worldwide deployment. They also act as the wartime aerial port of embarkation for over 27,000 soldiers, and their associated equipment, from the U.S. Army, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, located 50 miles east of Altus.

Here is the latest list of channels loaded into 97AMW aircraft based at Altus AFB (Freq Card).
