AFFTC announces Annual Award winners Published March 16, 2011 By 95th Air Base Wing Public Affairs 95th Air Base Wing Public Affairs EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Brig. Gen. Robert C. Nolan II, Air Force Flight Test Center commander, hosted the AFFTC Annual Awards Banquet Saturday, at Club Muroc, here. Honoring the extraordinary people and extraordinary results of Edwards, leadership from the 412th Test Wing and 95th Air Base Wing joined General Nolan to present awards in 10 categories. "We provide technology to the war-fighter and each and every person here is an important part of that mission," General Nolan said. "It takes a unique team of military personnel, federal civilian employees, and contractors to ensure our mission is carried out successfully. Tonight, we will celebrate just a few of the extraordinary people here at Edwards." The general said it takes the whole team giving 110% to complete the Air Force mission and he is impressed with the men and women of Edwards Air Force Base every day. "We are doing amazing things here at the Air Force Flight Test Center and events like the current earthquake in Japan are serious reminders that what we do here at Edwards is important," the commander said. "We can never forget that, and must strive to give 110% to a nation that relies on us. These award winners are just a few of the super-stars that give 110%, but everywhere I go I see people doing great things here at Edwards." Winners at the center level will go on to compete against fellow Air Force Materiel Command Airmen at the major command level awards.
