Holloman AFB- Amazing day!!
Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Mark Adams and Twila Stone!! (See pic of Twila with her book!)
What a great day I had at Holloman AFB today!! Thank you to the 350+ Airmen and Civilians who came out to the programs at the Base Theater. Thank you to Vice-Wing Commander Colonel Patterson (An F-16 Fighter Pilot) for spending an hour and a half to take me to the flight line while all the jets did their demo runs for Saturday’s Air Show. The Air Show is done once every four years and it was a HUGE honor to be a part of! I still can’t believe what I witnessed! The explosions from breaking the sound barrier were INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you also to Tracey Spencer and Jennifer Childers-Ansell (the two awesome ladies in the photos below) and the entire SARC team for bringing me here. You guys are the BEST! See photos from today below.
The 49th Wing — host wing at Holloman Air Force Base — supports national security objectives by deploying worldwide to support peacetime and wartime contingencies. The wing provides combat-ready Airmen and trains MQ-9 Reaper pilots and sensor operators. Additionally, the wing delivers Air Transportable Clinics and Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources while providing support to more than 17,000 military and civilian personnel to include German Air Force Flying Training center operations. The wing has a proud history of service in World War II, Korea, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and NATO-led Operation Allied Force.
