News continues after final Airlifter edition Published Sept. 25, 2009 By 62nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- Wing news continues online, and in two other publications following today's final edition of The Northwest Airlifter as an authorized publication of the 62nd Airlift Wing. The latest wing news, feature stories and photographs remain available on the 62nd AW public Web site: www.mcchord.af.mil (via government computers at www. mcchord.af.mil./). The same Web site also hosts the wing's new bimonthly unit newsletter, premiering online Oct. 16. The Northwest Guardian, currently serving Fort Lewis, begins expanded distribution on McChord early next month to include more coverage of Air Force and installation activities. As the authorized joint base newspaper, installation wide distribution will be complete with delivery to all base housing areas in February, following Joint Base Lewis-McChord Initial Operating Capability. "Our mission to tell the story of our Airmen hasn't changed, and their stories will still be told online and in a military newspaper," said Master Sgt. Dean Miller, 62nd Airlift Wing chief of public affairs. "We encourage all members of the McChord community to continue sharing news tips and information with us so we can coordinate coverage and support of their events." Members of the McChord community may pass news tips and information to public affairs at 982-5637. While The Northwest Airlifter ceases as an official Air Force publication, readers may see a similar product distributed as a private business venture.
