The 610th Military Airlift Support Squadron (MASS) was activated on 8 April 1966 and deactivated on 1 October 1978. Its mission was to provide direct support to the Far East which included Vietnam , Japan and Korea. It handled approximately 126,000 passengers and 16,000 tons of cargo a month. (Ref: Stars & Stripes 07/23/69) It also earned six Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards.
Our members were very proud to support the air evacuations of the wounded from Vietnam, many of which had been wounded only hours before being evacuated. It was also a great honor to support the aircraft bringing back the brave members of the military who had given there lives. All of our members supported these missions tirelessly, in many different ways, and would do what ever it took to see that they were successfully accomplished.

 610 MASS History

We are now able to add pictures on a link I’ve titled “YOKOTA PICTURES”. If you want to put pictures in this location e-mail me, mitch610mass@aol.com, and I’ll make you a folder with your title or name on it. Once that’s done you can add your pictures and edit them at the same time.
 
By placing pictures in this location we won’t have to hunt through members profiles to see them. You have the option to put them under your profile or under this location. It’s up to you. Some of us have already added pictures but I’m sure more people will look at them in the new location.
 
When you open an album, select the pictures in the box below them for captions and a slide show presentation. Only members who have established a profile can view the pictures. 
 
We need your help in locating other members of the 610 MASS so we've added a page on the left hand side titled "HELP US FIND THEM." It has information on members but we need additional information in order to better locate them. Look at the names and see if you can help us.

For some golf information at this years reunion look under "2010 Reunion."

Just a reminder. If you want to allow only fellow 610 MASS Alumni to view your Profile details and block the public and search engines from accessing your Profile check the box “Profile Visibility” on the bottom of your Profile page. Leave this box unchecked if you wish to allow the public, people surfing the web, (friends, co-workers, family members, etc.) to view your Profile details.

I’ve seen member’s profiles with personal information while surfing the web so make sure you understand what box’s your checking! If you have any questions feel free to contact the webmaster.

610 MASS PLAQUE

If you ever get a chance to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AF Base in Dayton, Ohio be sure to take a look at our plaque, see above, which was dedicated on September 28, 2005.  It's located in the Memorial Park on Wall #2-048. See picture below for the exact location. 
 
To see a slide show of the dedication ceremony log on to this website. Go to bottom of the "Reunion Pictures" and you'll find the password needed to access the dedication ceremony.
 

 

Check out the locations of members in your area. Under the states listed on the right hand side of this page select Show 610 MASS Alumni on map. Zoom in and you might be surprized who lives around the corner from you.  

On be half of the reunion alumni Harold Mitchell accepted the 610 MASS Squadron Banner from  Tom and Debbie Roney and Debbie's daughter Wendy Murray. The banner is collapsible and can be easily transported to any event. It will be displayed at our up coming reunions to help guide our members to important locations. Thank you Tom, Debbie and Wendy from all of us!
