Local Leaders Visit Hurricane Hunters

More than 30 civic leaders visited the 403rd Wing as part of a program called Leadership Gulf Coast a Chamber of Commerce program designed to prepare the area's current and potential leaders for the future. The goal is to create a communication network between present and emerging leaders dedicated to the improvement of the Mississippi Gulf Coast by attending a monthly session focused on industry. The focus of December's program was the military's presence on the coast. While visiting the wing, the group received a briefing about the wing's mission and toured a WC-130J "Hurricane Hunter" aircraft. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Tech. Sgt. James B. Pritchett)
