Desert Lightning News Nellis-Creech AFB – Digital and Print Publication Serving Nellis AFB, Creech AFB, Las Vegas NV and surrounding communities. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – January 21, 2022

Hello, fans and friends — thanks for checking out the Jan. 21st issue of Nellis AFB / Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! The USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team left their “nest” at Nellis AFB Jan. 10th, for an off-station winter training trip to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The unusual decision to train away from Nellis was made to increase flexibility for the team’s training needs. “Training in new and different environments will allow the team to exercise the necessary muscles to ensure our demonstration is precise despite changing conditions,” said Lt. Col. Justin Elliott, Thunderbirds commander. It’s a fact that the Thunderbirds never fail to wow the crowd, and it will be exciting to see what new levels of excellence they achieve, by pushing their training envelope.
