Aim High. Bear Down. DM50’s 2026 Tailgate on September 19, 2026 was our biggest yet, with several hundred Airmen, families and community supporters coming together for an unforgettable day of football, camaraderie and support. Congressman Juan Ciscomani joined the celebration, and a special flyover by the 355th Wing and 355th Rescue Group carried 20 impacted future Air Force officers. A great day for Davis-Monthan, our Airmen (and future Airmen!) and the Tucson community.
