Just like the past 30 years, future development and facility upgrades at the Stanly County Airport will greatly depend on the influence of the N.C. Air National Guard.

The 145th Tactical Airlift of the Air National Guard (ANG) is transitioning its use of the C-130 to the C-17, both considered aircraft workhorses with the latter more powerful and versatile. ANG’s transition between aircraft will likely mean Stanly’s airport adapt with more upgrades to accommodate training with the C-17.
