Location

Fairfield, United States

Travis Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation located near Fairfield, California, approximately 50 miles northeast of San Francisco. It serves as the home of the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the largest air mobility wing in the Air Force, and plays a critical role in projecting U.S. military power across the Pacific. The base operates under Air Mobility Command and supports a fleet that includes C-17 Globemaster III and KC-10 Extender aircraft, conducting strategic airlift, air refueling, and aeromedical evacuation missions worldwide.
