Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 3rd issue of Nellis AFB / Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! Check out that beautiful warbird on our cover — an F-15E Strike Eagle, flying out of Nellis as part of the Dual Capable Aircraft Nuclear Weapons System Evaluation Program (NucWSEP) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., earlier this fall. A Nuclear Evaluation Mission tests and evaluates maintenance, aircrew, and weapons Airmen. “It improves our readiness by giving our warfighters the experience they would need to employ the F-15E and the B61 series weapons in a future conflict within a contested environment,” said Lt. Col. Douglas Kabel, Air Combat Command’s Deputy Director of Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration.
