The Olmsted Flight Service Center was established on August 11, 1948, by the 147th Flight Service Squadron of the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) at Olmsted Air Force Base in Middletown, Pennsylvania. It served as a critical logistics hub for the U.S. Air Force, providing flight operations support and emergency supplies. During the 1948–1949 Berlin Airlift, the facility supplied emergency materiel to support the airlift operations. The base was named in honor of 1st Lieutenant Robert Sanford Olmsted, U.S. Army Air Service. Olmsted Air Force Base was closed in 1969, after which the site became the Pennsylvania Air National Guard facility and eventually Harrisburg International Airport.

A Base Aérea de Olmsted foi fechada em 1969, após o quê o local tornou-se a instalação da Guarda Nacional Aérea da Pensilvânia e, posteriormente, o Aeroporto Internacional de Harrisburg.
