Las Cruces Visits Holloman

HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. – Mark Winson, Las Cruces assistant city manager, examines the back of an F-22A Raptor March 20. He along with other members of the city of Las Cruces, including Gil Sorg and Greg Smith, city councilors, and Christine Logan, a member of the Las Cruces Community Development Department, were invited to Holloman to gain a better understanding of the F-22 mission and surrounding airspace and to learn the characteristics and physics behind sonic booms. Lt. Col. Robert Teschner, 49th Operations Group deputy commander briefed the visitors on the required training cycle for pilots, which includes the roles of trainee all the way through fleet commander, as well as the capabilities of the aircraft needed to complete a combat mission and return Airmen home safely. The 49th Wing is a first-strike operational unit on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the Department of Defense. Doing so requires a constant training regimen to ensure mission preparedness. The purpose of the structured training cycle is to ensure personal safety while maximizing mission effectiveness. The F-22 can reach speeds greater than Mach 2.0, which is well over the speed of sound and will cause a sonic boom. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Michael Shoemaker/Released)
