Stewart Air Force Base
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stewart Air National Guard Base is the home of the 105th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard. The former Stewart Air Force Base is also known as Newburgh-Stewart IAP and Stewart International Airport. Stewart IAP (ANG) is located in Newburgh, New York. The 105th' mission is to provide peacetime and wartime inter-theater airlift operations using the C-5A “Galaxy” cargo aircraft. Newburgh is approximately 60 miles north of New York City, NY and 100 miles due south of Albany, the capital of New York State. The base encompasses 267 acres (107 ha) and contains 36 buildings, amounting to approximately 757,000 square feet (68,130 m²). There is no family or transient housing. The day-to-day base population is approximately 660 personnel; however, one weekend each month the population surges to 1,600 in response to Air National Guard drills.
