COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. - The "Alley Cats" of the 48th Flying Training Squadron was named the Air Education and Training Command's Top Operations Squadron. “Being the top operations squadron of AETC is no small feat," said Maj. Gen. Craig D. Wills, commander of the 19th Air Force. "Every day you’re making aviators we can be proud of.” The 48th FTS is responsible for training pilots in the T-1A Jayhawk. After training at Columbus AFB, students transition to their next bases to train on the assigned tanker aircraft. In FY 2021, the 48th FTS flew over 7,500 sorties, which equals to more than 17,400 flight hours. (Source: CAFB 04/22/22)
