Commanders meet with Landstuhl Mayor

Lt. Gen. Craig A. Franklin, Commander, 3rd Air Force and Kaiserslautern Military Community, Maj. Gen. John O’Connor, the commanding general of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, and Brig. Gen. Patrick X. Mordente, Commander, 86th Airlift Wing, met Dr. Peter Degenhardt, Landstuhl Community Mayor, Aug. 5. The main discussion topic was an aviation training program which, due to adjusted operations requirements, will not have required any summer flight training after midnight through August 2013 in the Landstuhl area. The regular Summer Night Flying Program, which meets German Federal regulations, will resume next year. This training maintains lifesaving flight proficiency which benefits U.S. troops and allies.
