Thanks for checking out the June 21st edition of Nellis-Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! The members of the 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing’s RPA enterprise said thank you and farewell to Col. Julian Cheater and welcomed their new commander, Col. Stephen Jones, during a change of command ceremony on June 7. Jones has previously been assigned to multiple squadrons at Creech, flown the B-1 Bomber, MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper, and was an initial member of the team that armed the RQ-1 Predator. “Creech Air Force Base has a very special place in my heart, and there is no place I’d rather be than right here, right now, serving as your commander,” Jones said.
