Desert Lightning News – Digital and print publication serving Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson AZ and surrounding communities. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – February 2022
Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2022 edition of Davis Monthan AFB Desert Lightning News! Airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group at Davis Monthan joined with personnel from the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, to save an unconscious and severely hypothermic hiker at the Chiricahua National Monument. “While it’s great to have a mission where we bring strategic impact to the Air Force down range, it’s very rewarding to be able to contribute to the local community while at our home station,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Tyler Wilson, 55th Rescue Squadron pilot, aircraft commander for the mission. We congratulate this outstanding group of D-M Airmen and civilian counterparts on a job well done!! We have the story (it’s a nail-biter) and much more news prepared for you, in this month’s issue of Desert Lightning News.
