Since 2021, the Spokane Indians and Fairchild Air Force Base have teamed to help better the lives of local veterans from all services through Operation Fly Together. Now, the campaign is set to soar to new heights with the introduction of Boom Man.
Designed to highlight the boom operators who serve on Fairchild's iconic KC-135 Stratotankers, the new logo features a baseball player swinging a KC-135 boom, with additional nods to the team's history, the branches of the U.S. military, and the longstanding partnership between Fairchild Air Force Base and the Spokane Indians.
"The Spokane Indians are excited to add Boom Man as part of our Operation Fly Together campaign," said Spokane Indians Senior Vice President Otto Klein. "We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with Fairchild, and look forward to Boom Man helping us make an even greater impact for veterans in our community."
The new logo will adorn the team's hats during all Fly Together Fridays throughout the 2027 season, with the first on Friday, April 9, against the Hillsboro Hops.
“Team Fairchild is honored by the new design of Boom Man, including the incorporation of the unique support of the KC-135 Stratotanker to our nation’s defense," said Col. Brian Epperson, 92nd Air Refueling Commander. "We appreciate the Spokane Indians’ continued support of our service members and veterans within our local community.”
