History
Established in 2010, the Air Strikers started as an expansion franchise of the Premier Basketball League in the 2011 season,[1] before competing in the International Basketball League as a "branding team" in the spring of 2011.[2] They subsequently resumed play in the PBL for the 2012 season.[3][4]
In 2013, they played in the Central Basketball League for one season (playing just two league games) before going on hiatus.[5]
The team announced its return as a member of the new Midwest Basketball League, set to begin in April 2016.
Based in Dayton, Ohio, the Air Strikers play their home games at the Vandalia Recreation Center.
