Mayoral visit
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Colorado Spring’s mayor, Steve Bach, (center), is greeted by Col. Chris Crawford (left), 21st Space Wing commander, and Col. Jeffrey Flewelling (right), 21st SW vice commander, Dec. 13, 2011, in front of the wing headquarters building. This was Bach’s first visit to the wing since being elected under a new Colorado Spring’s mayoral system May 17, granting wider executive powers and administrative authority. During his visit, Bach learned more about the 21st SW’s global missile warning and space control missions, future growth plans and the wing’s mutual aid agreement as first responders to fires and emergencies at the city airport.
