The Alliance of Air National Guard Flight Surgeons (AANGFS) is a 501(c)4 non-profit professional organization that provides timely education and information for it's member Flight Surgeons currently serving or retired from the United States Air National Guard.  The organization was founded in January 1980 by Col. Blas Moreno (deceased) of the Rhode Island National Guard.  Dr. Moreno was a renowned philanthropist and talented flight surgeon. The Alliance and it's member physicians will be forever grateful for his help in creating our organization.

Since the time of its formation, the AANGFS has strived to provide relevant information for our nations ANG Flight Surgeons. Pre-digital age communication was difficult. As a result the AANGFS created a newsletter that distributed useful and timely information for ANG Flight Surgeons both at home and when deployed abroad. The coming of the digital age led to the brainchild of Col. William Pond (Ret.) of the Indiana Air National Guard. He created and maintained the original website for more than 15 years. Dr. Pond worked tirelessly on the website using his own time and even frequently at his own expense.  His dedication and commitment to the Alliance of Air National Guard Flight Surgeons will be forever remembered by us all.

This newest version of our website includes freshly redesigned AANGFS logos, branding  and colors. The new AANGFS patch is displayed throughout this website. The new face to the AANGFS was created in May 2021 by Col Roger Ludwig. The website now provides updated web links, files sections, forums and discussion groups tailored to the busy practicing physician and ANG Flight Surgeon. Our continued commitment is to provide up to date and timely communication and information to our nations finest Flight Surgeons. 

I hope you find this website helpful!
