On May 16, 2008, Cannon Air Force Base re-activated the 318th Special Operations Squadron (318 SOS) into the 27th Special Operations Wing (27 SOW) after a 34 year hiatus. Now, 16 years later, the 318 SOS has the momentous occasion of retiring the first Trainer Variant of the U-28A program. The Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, registered as N581PC, will be getting its permanent retirement display alongside Cannon’s other retired aircraft such as “Gravedigger” an AC-130H Spectre gunship and an MQ-9 Reaper that line Air Commando Way near the base main gate.
