The Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard now fly pretty
much the same equipment as the active USAF do. For instance the 116th
Air
Control Wing at Robins AFB flys the E-8C and serves in a 'blended
wing'
with
both ANG and active duty personnel as does the 124th Wing at Boise and
the
175th Wing at Martin State Airport does with the A/OA-10. The Air
Force
Reserve has a like plan where the Reserve Wing has an Associate
relationship
and actually flies aircraft of an active duty wing.

Are those latter two units actually blended? I thought the 116th was the
first and only as of now.

I used the Annual Almanac Issue of Air Force Magazine for my source.
Those
are the only tree listed.

OK, I found that listing. But nowhere else have I seen anything to indicate
that any new blended wings have actually been created, or even
identified--the Maryland ANG website is also devoid of any mention of this.
Kind of makes me wonder if the AFA either jumped the gun or maybe got its
info wrong.
