“We witnessed two separate mid-flight F-16 refueling missions and toured Edwards AFB, Calif., and the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. I was hooked and could not stop talking about it. I was then sponsored to participate as an Honorary Commander of the 310th Fighter Squadron from 2009 to 2011. “After my two-year term was complete, I joined the Alpha Class of the Blue Blazer Squadron, Fighter Country Partnership in January 2013.”

“My experience as an Honorary Commander and now as a Blue Blazer rank among the most memorable and enjoyable of my life. I am in awe of the selfless dedication and patriotism of the men and women of Luke AFB and recognize what a special privilege it is to serve them in a small way.

Being an active Blue Blazer has afforded me the honor to participate in several activities including Haboob Havoc, Red Flag at Nellis AFB, Nev., observing bombing and strafing at the Barry M. Goldwater Range, Change of Command ceremonies and Roll Call. I participate in the annual golf tournament, Wingman’s Day, the Fiesta Bowl Parade, Fry’s Courageous Hearts phone bank, Air Force Balls and speed mentoring. But the thrill of a lifetime was my flight in an F-16! My call sign name is “Popper” and you will have to ask “AJAX” how I earned it.”
Ron Sites, Executive Director and President of Fighter Country Partnership said:
“We have many amazing individuals who spend the time to be present and support FCP and Luke AFB. By the smile I always see on Cheri’s face, I would argue there isn’t another person who enjoys being involved with FCP and Luke more than she.”
