Sheppard AFB Photo Gallery

Thank you for visiting the Sheppard Air Force Base photo gallery. Since the site was established in 2007, thousands of images from training activities to support functions, family events and more have been captured and posted here. A change in the content management system has limited the number of gallery pages to 100, so guests will not be able to scroll through the pages to the very beginning of our collection. However, guests can search for images by using keywords such as names, a specific squadron, an aircraft, or event. 

Some Sheppard images and other products can also be found on our Defense Visual Information Distribution Service page.

AETC 70th Anniversary

1942 -- Congress created the Women's Army Auxillary Corps. Members fo the WAAC primarily filled clerical positions, releasing men for combat duty. Pictured above are members of the WAAC contingent to arrive at Randolph Field. In September 1943, the WAAC was replaced by the Women's Army Corps. The WAC remained in existence until June 12, 1948, when congress passed the Armed Service Integration Act, and Women in the Air Force became a permanent designation. By the mid-1970s, the Air Force stopped using the WAF and began referring to both men and women as "Airmen." (Courtesy photo)
