Desert Lightning News Nellis-Creech AFB – Serving Nellis AFB, Creech AFB, Las Vegas NV and surrounding communities – October 11, 2019
Welcome to the October 11th edition of Nellis-Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson was among a group of distinguished visitors to Creech AFB in mid-September, as the 432nd Wing/ 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing played host to the Secretary of Defense’s Innovation Board, Defense Innovation Unit and Defense Digital Service. The visitors spent the day interacting with Airmen in multiple areas, spurring innovative thinking and exchanges of ideas. Without the bright minds and creative ideas of Airmen and DOD partners, the continued progression of the MQ-9 mission would not be possible – click on the link below to read the full story, and access your full copy of this week’s Desert Lightning News on your desktop or mobile device.
