Tad Clark, 31st Fighter Wing commander (right), after his first visit as Prefect to Aviano Air Base, Italy, Jan. 14, 2025. Lastella met with several units around the 31st Fighter Wing to include the 31st Operations Support Squadron, the 31st Maintenance Squadron, the 31st Medical Group, and the 31st Mission Support Group.
