About us
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is located northeast of Dayton, Ohio, and encompasses parts of Greene and Montgomery counties. The base has a rich aviation heritage. The pioneering work of Orville and Wilbur Wright from 1899 to 1903 enabled them to achieve the first manned, powered flight. After their success at Kitty Hawk, they returned home to Dayton, Ohio, where in 1904 and 1905 they perfected their flying skills while turning the Wright Flyer into the first practical airplane capable of fully-controlled flight. They accomplished this work at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, now a part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. From 1910 to 1916 the brothers operated a flying school at Huffman Prairie. Among their 119 students were Henry "Hap" Arnold who commanded the Army Air Forces in World War II, and H. Roy Brown, the Canadian ace who was credited with shooting down the Red Baron in World War I. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has been a leader in military aviation development from the time of airplane inventors Wilbur and Orville Wright to today's aerospace age. Surrounding communities include Beavercreek, Fairborn, Riverside and Huber Heights. With over 30,000 employees, including military, civilian and contractors, Wright-Patterson is the largest single site employer in the state of Ohio with an economic impact of $4.2 billion per year. The base covers more than 8,000 acres of land (12.5 square miles) and provides operational support for more than 100 associate units located at Wright-Patterson. There are two runways, supporting an average of 47,000 aircraft operations every year. The base is divided into two areas - A and B. Ohio SR 444 runs between the two areas. The base is headquarters for a vast, worldwide logistics system, a world-class laboratory research function, and is the foremost acquisition and development center in the U.S. Air Force.

Monday message from 88 ABW commander, Col. Dustin Richards: "I don’t want the communication line to be one way. We are going through avenues to get the word out, but I always want to hear from members of the installation, no matter if they are a part of the wing or not. I want to hear about their quality of life, service (and) facilities, whatever their challenges are, so that we can do our best to improve them."

This morning, service members from #teamwrightpatt completed a 24-hour run in honor of POW/MIA day. We will always remember and honor our Nation's Prisoners of War and those still Missing in Action and keep faith with our promise as a nation to bring all our heroes home. Since 1973, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency has accounted for approximately 2,450 service members from World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam. In the last fiscal year, 158 service members have been accounted for. Take a moment with us to remember and honor those service members who were Prisoners of War and those who served and never returned.
