Air Force chief of staff returns to roots

April 30th, 2009
Some thirty-five years ago, 2nd Lt. Norton Schwartz graduated Undergraduate Pilot Training, walking away from here with a set of silver wings and a promising career with unlimited potential.

On April 24th, now Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz came full circle, returning to Laughlin as the guest speaker at the wing's dining out.
