Hello everyone, and welcome to the July 9th issue of Nellis AFB / Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! A season of change is coming to Nellis AFB, with the announcement that the base’s close air support and rescue missions will be moving to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. This will free up capacity for a larger fighter presence at Nellis, to include additional F-35 and F-22 aircraft. “We need the additional range and aircraft maintenance infrastructure capacity at Nellis to fully test and train with our most advanced capabilities,” said Gen. Mark Kelly, commander, Air Combat Command.
