Location
Travis Air Force Base is located in Solano County in Northern California near the cities of Fairfield, Suisun City, and Vacaville. This is considered to be a high cost of living area. Travis lies midway between Sacramento, the state capital, and San Francisco, the cultural heart of the West Coast. The base is within easy driving distance of California Wine Country in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, as well as the popular tourist destinations Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National Park and Monterey.
History
The 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) is the largest organization in Air Mobility Command (AMC) and flies the Lockheed C-5 “Galaxy”, the C-17 “Globemaster” and the KC-10 “Extender” tanker on a daily operational basis.
