McMullen takes final flight
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --
Brig. Gen. John K. McMullen, 325th Fighter Wing commander, took his final flight at Tyndall in an F-22 Raptor, Nov. 9.

General McMullen will permanently change stations to Ramstein Air Base, Germany at the end of this month.
The general will relinquish command to Col. David Graff, current 325th FW vice commander, during a change of command ceremony Nov. 14. The ceremony will be held at 9:30 a.m. in Hangar 1.
