The C-141 staging point for all Air Force Reserve C-141s was established at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, flying to the European Theater transporting troops and equipment, then into the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Central_Command" title="United States Central Command">United States Central Command</a> area of operations with volunteers. </p><p>The wing was later called to active duty in February 2003. At the peak of the 445th's activation, approximately 630 reservists from the wing were called to active duty. To date, the wing has over 100 reservists still on active duty status. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg/220px-Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg/330px-Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg/440px-Hanoi_Taxi_over_NMUSAF.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1400" data-file-height="882" /></a><figcaption><i>Hanoi Taxi</i> flying over the <a href="/wiki/National_Museum_of_the_United_States_Air_Force" title="National Museum of the United States Air Force">National Museum of the United States Air Force</a> in December 2005</figcaption></figure> <p>Even though the staging point has stepped down for Operation Iraqi Freedom, the 445th operations tempo was still very high for the wing. Through 30 September 2005, flights continued to cycle from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to <a href="/wiki/Ramstein_Air_Base" title="Ramstein Air Base">Ramstein Air Base</a>, Germany then into <a href="/wiki/Balad_Air_Base" title="Balad Air Base">Balad Air Base</a>, Iraq to transport wounded soldiers and Iraqi injured children who were severely sick or injured beyond hospital capabilities in Iraq, under the <a href="/wiki/Coalition_Provisional_Authority" title="Coalition Provisional Authority">Coalition Provisional Authority</a>. The injured were transported by a C-141 to Germany for medical treatment. After returning from Balad, then to Germany, the C-141 continued to the states while another C-141 took off from Wright-Patterson to continue the cycle. Most members of the 445th maintenance squadrons and flying squadrons are currently demobilized, but are keeping the C-141s in the air with volunteer tours of duty. The aeromedical crews from the aeromedical evacuation squadron continue to be mobilized. </p><p>The wing was the last unit in the U.S. Air Force to operate the C-141. One of these, the <a href="/wiki/Hanoi_Taxi" title="Hanoi Taxi">Hanoi Taxi</a> (serial number 66-177), is famous for being the first aircraft to land in North Vietnam, in 1973, to repatriate American <a href="/wiki/Prisoners_of_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Prisoners of War">Prisoners of War</a> at the end of the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>.
