Hello fans and friends, and thanks for checking out the October 30th issue of Nellis AFB/ Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! The 432nd Wing/432nd Air Expeditionary Wing played host to some special guests late last week, as Gen. Mark Kelly, commander of Air Combat Command and Chief Master Sgt. David Wade, ACC command chief, visited Creech Air Force Base. The immersive visit allowed the leaders to enhance their understanding of the installation’s current and future operations. Assets and Airmen based at Creech have become increasingly vital tools in the Air Force mission, including providing support to firefighting efforts and enhancing national security on many levels.
