Meet the Commander—Colonel Ken Wisian, Commander Texas ANG
Commander, Texas Air National Guard
United States Air Force
Our own Colonel Ken Wisian has been selected to command the Texas Air National. He is a proud member of AFA Houston and has supported us on every occasion. He brings a depth of experience, knowledge and leadership to the Texas ANG that is unequaled. We salute him. Ken’s background explains in large measure why he was chosen for this job. He graduated from the University of Texas in 1982 and received his commission as a distinguished AFROTC graduate. He became a B-52G Navigator and Radar Navigator at Barksdale AFB and was then selected for the USAF Test Pilot School and became the Chief Test Navigator for the AC-130U Spectre (Spooky) Gunship. Taking time out to pursue his Doctoral degree, he thentransferred to the Texas ANG where he has served in operations and command positions prior to
assuming command of the 147th RW at Ellington. He has over 3800 hours in combat aircraft and combat time in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. You just can’t get more qualified than that. He is married to Dr. Meena Balakrishnan and has one daughter, Danielle. All of the members of AFA Houston, Chapter San Jacinto TX233 wish Ken the best in his new responsibilities as the Texas Air National Guard Commander. He is a true leader.
