10/15/2009 - SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Col. Mark Kelly, 4th Fighter Wing commander, is one of less than 20 pilots in the world to achieve the milestone of 3,000 hours in the F-15E Strike Eagle. He began his flying career immediately after being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Force in 1986. Colonel Kelly has flown the F-15E for more than 18 years and of his 3,000 plus flight hours, more than 400 of them have been in combat. In addition to the Strike Eagle, Colonel Kelly has also flown the F/A-18 Hornet while on exchange with the Royal Australian Air Force.
