Goodfellow is home to the historic 17th Training Wing whose mission today is to Train, Develop, and Inspire Exceptional Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and Fire Protection Professionals for America and Her Allies

Our daily student load of Service members is a remarkable 4,000 personnel. Teaching more than 700 courses, the wing graduates over 14,000 of the best trained firefighting and ISR warriors in the world each year. This includes international officers from over 40 Allied nations. The base was initially established as San Angelo Air Corps Basic Flying School on August 17, 1940. On June 11, 1941, the base was officially renamed Goodfellow Field in honor of San Angelo native First Lieutenant John Goodfellow who was killed flying a reconnaissance mission over enemy territory in France during the first World War.

🤠🇺🇸 Celebrating Western Heritage in San Angelo!

Our Goodfellow AFB Honor Guard was proud to present the colors at the Cinch Roping Fiesta! We were honored to represent and be part of such a special event celebrating Western heritage and community spirit.

During the event, Col Norton and his family were recognized in a horse-drawn carriage, making the occasion even more memorable.

A big thank you to the Cinch Roping Fiesta organizers for the invitation and for welcoming Goodfellow AFB to be part of this wonderful tradition. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with our local community and represent our Air Force family! 🇺🇸
