Inscription. The Wing's aircraft maintenance was carried out in three large hangars, buildings 352, 358 and 359, located along the edge of the flight line.

These were used for general aircraft maintenance to include recurring phase inspections of all aircraft. Also located on the flight line was an environmentally controlled aircraft paint hangar

. The very large hangar at the south end of the flight line was used when aircraft field maintenance was required. It contained the necessary shops and equipment for this kind of aircraft maintenance.

After base closure, these facilities were transferred to the Horry County Department of Airports and used as aircraft maintenance facilities. The large field maintenance hangar was leased to a private company.
