33 FW CC wins Florida AFA award

Eddie McAllister, Air Force Association Eglin Chapter 365 president, presents Col. Todd D. Canterbury, 33rd Fighter Wing commander, with the Jerry Waterman Award on Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, June 10, 2015. Established in 1967, the Jerry Waterman Award is presented to an active duty Air Force member who has made the most significant contribution to the Air Force for the past year. Col. Canterbury’s leadership over the 33 FW has led to program firsts that created successful methods of operations and training. The wing now has the ability to divert operations due to weather and evacuate in the event of a hurricane, perform night flights, aerial refueling and hot pit refueling in a training environment. Training opportunities have also doubled under his direction after removing F-35 Lightning II weather restrictions and the creation of a night-vision course. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt.
