Tail Nos. 0129 and 0647 were 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 remotely piloted aircraft and Intelligence mission, which will include a space-focused targeting squadron. The 188th now has nine 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/188th Fighter Wing Public Affairs)
