Hey plane spotters, did you catch this rare bird at ALB and Million Air Albany today? ✈

A United States Air Force C-32A — a modified Boeing 757 — made a brief stop in Albany as part of a training operation. The aircraft is used to transport high-level government officials, including the Vice President, cabinet secretaries and U.S. ambassadors, and its blue-and-white livery closely resembles the aircraft most people know as Air Force One.

No dignitaries were on board today, but it was still a sharp-looking visitor and a pretty cool sight on the airfield.

A little different from your typical arrivals and departures at ALB.

Today, this United States Air Force C-32B Gatekeeper, a modified Boeing 757-200, made several touch-and-go passes at Albany International Airport.

A touch-and-go is exactly what it sounds like: the aircraft lands, briefly touches the runway, then takes off again without coming to a full stop. It allows pilots to practice landings and takeoffs in quick succession.

A pretty cool catch on a sunny day at ALB. ✈️

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the service members who gave their lives for our country and the families who carry their memory forward.

Hundreds of volunteers. Dozens of community projects. One shared goal: giving back to the Capital Region we proudly call home.

Today, employees from across Albany International Airport, including the Albany County Airport Authority, Albany Airport Professional Firefighters IAFF Local I-65, Transportation Security Administration - TSA, and Premium Investigations, came together for United Way of the Greater Capital Region’s annual 518 Day.

Our group spent the day volunteering at Christ Church Albany's Love Albany Community Center, helping with painting, landscaping, spring cleanup, and other projects to support a space that serves so many people throughout the year.

We’re proud to have a team that is always eager to step up, pitch in, and support the community where we live and work.

This isn’t your average day at the office.

This week, firefighters and first responders are taking part in Rope rescue training at ALB, including members of the Albany Airport Fire Department, Colonie EMS Department, and the Slingerlands Fire Department.

These photos capture one part of the exercise: firefighters using ropes and technical rescue equipment on the back side of our South Parking Garage.

Like every training exercise we host, the goal is simple: be ready. Ready to respond, ready to work together, and ready to help keep people safe when it matters most.

We’re grateful to the firefighters and first responders who are willing to put themselves through tough, uncomfortable, and challenging situations so they can be prepared for real emergencies.

Thank you to New York State Fire and the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services for leading this training, which continues through the end of the week.

Training for the moments we hope never happen, but must always be ready for.

Late last month, Albany Airport Professional Firefighters IAFF Local I-65 was joined by Shaker Road-Loudonville Fire Department and Verdoy Volunteer Fire Department for a hands-on training exercise at ALB.

Crews worked through several emergency response scenarios, including forced entry, aircraft fire rescue, and confined space rescue.

In this video, Deputy Chief Chris Menge explains why realistic training like this is so important, not only for our airport, but for the mutual aid partners who help keep our travelers, employees, and community safe.

Thank you to all of the firefighters who took part in this important exercise.

- John Burke, nephew of 2nd Lt. Joseph “Roy” Burke

Yesterday, Albany International Airport had the solemn honor of welcoming home United States Army Air Corps 2nd Lt. Joseph “Roy” Burke.

Lt. Burke, a Troy native who attended Siena and learned to fly at Albany Airport, gave his life during World War II. After decades of uncertainty, his remains were identified in 2025 and returned home to the Capital Region.

Upon arrival, an honor guard conducted a dignified transfer of Lt. Burke’s casket from the aircraft to the waiting hearse, as his family stood nearby for this long-awaited return.

The procession then moved to The Hangar at 743, where family members, dignitaries, Siena University ROTC students, veterans, and members of the community gathered to pay tribute.

The moment was made even more meaningful by a flyover from a P-40 Warhawk, the same type of aircraft Lt. Burke flew during World War II.

All of us at Albany International Airport are deeply honored to have played a small role in helping welcome Lt. Burke home and supporting the final leg of his long journey to his place of rest.

Now that’s how you send off a first flight. ✈️

United’s first nonstop flight from Albany to Denver International Airport took off this morning, and Albany Airport Professional Firefighters IAFF Local I-65 made sure it left ALB in style.

Denver is officially on the board.

Denver, we’re officially on our way. ✈️

This morning, United launched its new nonstop service between Albany and Denver International Airport, giving travelers across the Capital Region a new year-round connection to one of the country’s biggest western hubs.

The first flight departed from our newly renovated Concourse A, with a gate-area celebration before boarding and a special sendoff from our Albany Airport Professional Firefighters IAFF Local I-65 as the aircraft headed for the runway.

We’re proud to celebrate this new connection and excited for where it will take Capital Region travelers next.

On Friday afternoon, Albany International Airport will help welcome home United States Army Air Corps 2nd Lt. Joseph “Roy” Burke, a Troy native who gave his life during World War II.

Lt. Burke died on January 9, 1945, while a prisoner of war. His remains were not identified until 2025, when DNA matching with family members finally brought answers after decades of uncertainty.

Before serving his country, Burke learned to fly at Albany Airport as part of the federal Civilian Pilot Training Program, making this return especially meaningful for our airport and our region.

An honor guard will conduct a dignified transfer of Lt. Burke’s remains upon arrival Friday. Funeral services will take place next week at Siena University Chapel, followed by burial at Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.

All of us at Albany International Airport are honored to help welcome Lt. Burke home to the Capital Region and support this final leg of his long journey to his place of rest.
