Col. Mark Anderson (Tail No. 188), 188th Fighter Wing commander, and Maj. Doug Davis (Tail No. 639), 188th Detachment 1 commander, prepare to land at Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Fort Smith, Ark., following a training mission Dec. 30, 2013. 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-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthogs” per month since September 2013. The last Warthog is slated to leave the 188th in June 2014. The 188th has flown A-10s 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 ANG Base. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Matthew Bruch)
