 News and Announcements

NEW  Wing Passes Inspection Successfully
We passed our inspection with flying colors.  We had an overall grade of Successful, with several areas that were Excellent.  The team especially praised the enthusiasm and careful preparation of our staff, and I want to add my personal thanks for all the work all of you have done.

Remember, a “Successful” is not like a “C.”   On the contrary, successful means that we fully meet all mission requirements.  Very few wings ever score higher than Successful.
--Col Ralph Miller, Commander

NEW  Wing Staff Meeting - North  - May 7   The Wing Staff meeting for the North will be held at Wing HQ on Wednesday May 7 at 1900. It is very important that squadron commanders - or a designated representative - for area squadrons be present.
