I went down to Mobile to fly over the Gulf with the Alabama National Guard back in early July. Here's some of the video I shot that day. Sorry it took so long to get it up, I'll post more throughout the week.
Members of the 908th Airlift Wing are returning from the desert this week. Check back here for more information and coverage.
The 908th deployed in May, after several delays due to the volcanic ash over Europe.
About 150 people deployed with several of the wing's C-130 cargo planes. The 908th is the only Air Force Reserve unit in the state and this was their first time back to the desert since 2008.
They've been flying combat support mission in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Horn of Africa for about four months. Flights crews, maintenance personnel and medical personnel are on the volunteer deployment.
While there, some of the aircraft and crews were diverted to aid in the Pakistan flood relief operations.
In mid-August, two aircraft and crews and maintenance personnel were diverted to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan and then on to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, to help transport relief supplies, said Lt. Col. Jerry Lobb, the wing spokesman.
Lobb said they supported the Pakistan relief efforts for about two weeks and then returned to their undisclosed deployed location.
While deployed, the Maxwell unit is the 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron and their commander is Lt. Col. Scott Hayes of Montgomery.
The airmen used their C-130 Hercules cargo planes to move food, medical supplies and other relief items from an airfield near Islamabad to smaller, outlying airfields closer the where the supplies are needed, Lobb said.

The Boeing Company of Huntsville is being awarded a $23,654,354 task order #0002 Phase IB under a previously awarded cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery order contract for the critical design of a 100-kW class Free Electron Laser (FEL) device which can be used to demonstrate scaleability of the necessary FEL physics and engineering for an eventual MW class Free Electron Laser (FEL) device.
Under this effort, this Navy FEL Innovative Naval Prototype (INP) Program will encompass the transition from a demonstrated 14 kW FEL capability, currently at hand, to a weapon class 100-kW class capability.
This 100 kW FEL effort is intended to provide the physics and engineering information needed to support a MW class FEL device development. The desired outcome of this effort is to transfer laboratory capability to Industry and to assess potential industrial roles in supporting the procurement program for FEL weapon systems.
The Navy also wishes to gain insight into industry's longer term interest in participating in the follow-on integration, at a government test facility, or elsewhere, of the FEL device into a complete naval weapon system test bed to validate the concept for shipboard use.
Work will be performed in Albuquerque, N.M. (45 percent); Medford, N.Y. (20 percent) and various government labs and subcontractor locations (35 percent), and work is expected to be completed Dec. 3, 2011.
Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
