John Gonzales, 23rd Operations Support Squadron commander, into the cockpit of an A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthog,” Feb. 11, 2014. Gonzales delivered Tail No. 649 from Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Fort Smith, Ark. to Moody Air Force Base, Ga., as part of the 188th Fighter Wing’s conversion from an A-10 mission to a remotely piloted aircraft, intelligence and targeting mission.
