Desert Lightning News – Digital and print publication serving Davis Monthan AFB, Tucson AZ and surrounding communities – May 2019
Thanks for checking out the May edition of Desert Lightning News! This month’s cover story features Exercise Bushwhacker 19-05, which was held in April at Davis-Monthan AFB. Squadrons of the 355th Wing proved the “Dynamic Wing” construct during the exercise, which tested ability to rapidly wield combat airpower to austere and contested locations. Another example of why D-M is the top base in the US Air Force!
