The airlift wing's 757th Airlift Squadron is home to the Department of Defense's only large area, fixed wing aerial spray squadron. The 757th was part of the ongoing multi-agency effort to combat the massive oil spill resulting from the April 20th sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform.
