Youngstown Air Reserve Station (sometimes abbreviated as YARS[2]) (IATA: YNG, ICAO: KYNG) is a military facility located in Vienna Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, 11 miles north of Youngstown and 10 miles east of Warren in the United States.
Assigned to ADC's Central Air Defense Force, the 86th would remain at Youngstown until 1960, eventually upgrading to the F-102 Delta Dagger.
The F-86s had been received, but never flown while they were going through acceptance checks, and the T-33s, which were flying, were taken out and replaced by C-119 Flying Boxcars[9] In 1959, the need for active-duty Air Defense Command bases and regular Air Force fighter-interceptor operations were diminishing and the intent to scale back operations at Youngstown AFB was announced on 28 October 1959.
Per AFRC direction, the unit was renamed the 910th Airlift Wing (910 AW) while still retaining its operational relationship with AMC.
[13] That same year, the US Federal Government allocated nearly $9 million to the base to construct a tactical landing zone to help train soldiers before they experience the real thing in battle.
The new gate will feature facilities and technology to enhance force protection and anti-terrorism capabilities for the station.
