Islip Long Island MacArthur Airport

The 201WF, NYANG mission was weather support to the 42ID, NYARNG, attached to the G2, supported by the 242 SIG BN in Hempstead, and directly providing aviation weather support to elements of the 42 AVN BN at ISP. Our ANG personnel support was provided by the 106RQW CBPO at Gabreski ANGB in Westhampton Beach, where the 201WF moved to in 83, due to facility limitations at ISP, until disbanded during the 42ID reorg in OCT93. The 202WF, MAANG, at Camp Edwards in Otis ANGB on the Cape (Cod), formerly assigned to the disbanded 26ID, MAARNG, was reassigned to support the new multi-State 42ID then.
