Nearly 20 mayors, county commissioners and business leaders attended the 52nd Fighter Wing's information forum at the Eifel Lodging conference room Feb. 19.

Hosted by Col. David Julazadeh, 52nd FW commander, the twice-yearly forum creates opportunities for community leaders to voice their opinions and concerns while gathering insight on current events and operations on behalf of the more than 10,000 Saber Airmen and their families assigned to the wing. 

The meeting included representatives from the Bitburg-Pruem Eifel county, the Bernkastel-Wittlich county, the area administrations of Speicher, Bitburg-Land, Trier-Land and Manderscheid, the cities of Bitburg, Wittlich and Speicher, and the communities of Spangdahlem, Binsfeld and Herforst.

The leaders discussed a range of issues affecting the community including the status of current flying operations, future development of the installation and upcoming German-American opportunities.
