LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. --  Selected individuals from Luke Air Force Base including four members from the 944th Fighter Wing received a treat Jan 21 while Pro Bowl players from the National Football League visited here.

The objective was to provide a cool experience for both parties. Airmen were urged to share their Air Force story and have fun. A couple places the NFL players visited on base were the 56th Security Forces kennels and a static display of an F-16 and F-35. Players also talked to deployed members via skype.

It was a chance to interact with the players, take photographs and receive autographs.

It was also a chance for the NFL to show their appreciation to Air Force military and civilian work force.
