Big 22 flights puts 52nd FW leaders in the F-16 Viper
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Lt. Col. Doug “Stoli” Nikolai, 22nd Fighter Squadron commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Vance Clarke, 52nd Fighter Wing command chief, prepare for flight in an F-16 Viper. The flight was part of a program to help senior leaders gain a better understanding of the base operations. A side from experiencing the typical day of a fighter pilot, this mission also gave Chief Clarke the chance to see the expertise and professionalism of the 52nd Maintenance Group maintainers.
