Texas civic leaders visit Space Coast

Maj. Gen. Ronald B. “Bruce” Miller, 10th Air Force commander, Naval Air Station Forth Worth, Texas showed up on Florida’s Space Coast with 15 Texas business and community leaders to visit the 920th Rescue Wing at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida and learn about its mission. During the visit the civic leaders took time out for a group photo in front of a space capsule. The capsule was used by U.S. Air Force rescue personnel in the 67th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron at Royal Air Force Woodbridge to train in recovery operations for both the Apollo and Skylab programs. The capsule has been on loan from the Smithsonian Institute’s National Air and Space museum since 1992 due to the unit’s role in human spaceflight rescue. The PAFB visit was their second stop on Florida’s East Coast after visiting the 482nd Fighter Wing, at Homestead Air Reserve Station, in Miami, earlier that day on April 24, 2019.
