Comment

The 377th Air Base Wing is a wing of the United States Air Force based at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. First organized in 1966 at the Tan Son Nhut Airfield, in Vietnam. It began phasing down in early 1973 and transferred most of its remaining assets to the Vietnamese Air Force before inactivating.
