MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. --  As a spotlight performer, individuals are chosen by leadership for demonstrating one or more of the 22nd ARW commander's intents: Foster a culture of excellence ... Develop the next generation of leaders ... Set and achieve goals.

Senior Airman Ryan Haught, 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron aircraft electrical and environmental systems journeyman, has met the 22nd Air Refueling Wing commander's intent of developing the next generation of leaders.
