Conversion Day

Two 188th Wing A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthogs” piloted by Col. Mark Anderson, 188th Wing commander, and Maj. Doug Davis, 188th Detachment 1 commander, take off from Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Fort Smith, Arkansas, June 7, 2014. This sortie marked the wing’s final A-10 departure and capped the 188th’s Conversion Day ceremony, which recognized the many changes occurring at the wing as a result of its conversion to a remotely piloted aircraft (MQ-9 Reapers) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission. The 188th Fighter Wing was also redesignated as the 188th Wing during the event. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Matt Pelkey)
