Very proud of our 1 FW Spark Tank Finalist team! TSgt Caban, Maj Van Timmeren, and Lt Myers represented the 1 FW well at AFA Orlando last week. TSgt Caban’s innovation, Portable Magnetic Aircraft Covers (PMAC), has already garnered significant recognition and funding.
Did a thing today... flew in the back of a T-38 Talon!! So many thanks to the @USAF_ACC team, the 71st FTS and especially my trusty pilot and fellow SF native Lt. Joshua “Dirty” Burdge for an AMAZING ride!
It was great to see old friends and mentors at the 1st Fighter Association reunion. Alumni spanning 5 decades and 4 different aircraft made for a fun time with lots of good stories.
One of the highlights of this week was STEP promoting Nicholas Schwarten to TSgt! Nick’s been performing above his rank and was the ideal candidate. Well done TSgt Schwarten! #FirstTotheFight
The 94th Fighter Squadron departed this week for RED FLAG 19-3 @NellisAFB! Ops and MX will participate in America’s premier air combat exercise. #Airpower
Incredibly proud of our Airmen! They answered our nation’s call, deploying F-22s on short-notice to Qatar for the first time in history. This was a heavy lift, but they made it look easy with their skill and tireless determination. First to the fight! #Airpower
