JBPHH Welcomes Tyndall to the Hawaii Ohana

By Pacific Air Forces Public Affairs

The Air Force announced the temporary relocation of personnel and F-22s from the 95th Fighter Squadron, Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., to Joint Base (JB) Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Nov. 2, 2018.

The unit assets are being reassigned as Tyndall begins its longterm recovery following the devastation caused by Hurricane Michael, which struck the base in early October 2018.

A number of important missions will resume at Tyndall AFB in the next few months and others will shift to other locations for the time being. All but approximately 500 Airmen will return to the Florida panhandle.

“We are focused on taking care of our Airmen and their families and ensuring the resumption of operations. These decisions were important first steps to provide stability and certainty,” said Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson. “We’re working hard to return their lives to normalcy as quickly as possible.”
