Hog gone: Tail No. 639 departs
Master Sgt. Paul Denton, a crew chief with the 188th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, preps an A-10C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" (Tail No. 639) for departure to Moody Air Force Base, Ga., Feb. 5, 2014. Tail No. 639 was transferred from the 188th Fighter Wing’s Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Fort Smith, Ark., as part of the wing’s on-going conversion from a fighter mission to a remotely piloted aircraft and Intelligence mission, which will include a space-focused targeting squadron. The 188th now has eight remaining A-10s left on station. The A-10s will join Moody AFB’s 75th Fighter Squadron. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech Sgt. Josh Lewis)
