On 18 November, four members of the Association attended the 27^th Squadron Change of Command ceremony held in the Squadron hangar at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Association members attending included, Jim Hardenbrook, Maj Gen (ret) Steve Miller, Bill Roege and Randy Dodge. Col Richard Boutwell, 1^st Operations Group Commander, officiated at the ceremony where Lt Col Cavan “Caveman” Craddock assumed command from Lt Col Pete “Coach” Fesler. The event provided a great opportunity for renewing friendships with nearly all of the Wing leadership, meet the new 27^th CC Lt Col Craddock and thank Lt Col Fesler for all his support during his 18 month tenure as squadron commander. Lt Col Fesler led the charge to have an F-22 designated “Maloney’s Pony” and obtained HHQ approval for nose art on the stealthy Raptor. Following the ceremony we all watched a practice F-22 demo—most impressive.
