Col. Mark Anderson (Tail No. 188), 188th Fighter Wing commander; Col. Brian Burger (Tail No. 613), 188th Operations Group commander; and Maj. Doug Davis (Tail No. 639), 188th Detachment 1 commander, conduct a training mission Dec. 30, 2013, over Razorback Range, located at Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center, Ark. The sortie was one of the last four-ship training missions that will be conducted at the 188th. The wing is currently transitioning from a fighter mission to an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance/remotely piloted aircraft (MQ-9 Reaper) mission that will also feature a space-focused targeting squadron. The 188th has divested two A-10s per month since September 2013. The last Warthog is slated to leave the 188th in June 2014. The 188th has flown A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthogs” since April 2007 and has had assigned aircraft on site since 1953. June will mark the first time in unit’s 60-year history that no assigned military aircraft will be parked on the flightline at Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Fort Smith, Ark.
