The 21st AS flew its last world mission to South Carolina to pick up supplies for Balad AB, Iraq; flew to India to pick up two Marine Corps helicopters and personnel supporting President Bush’s visit; dropped the marines off in Hawaii; then back to Travis. The 21st AS officially becomes a C-17 unit on April 3.
