To go from a Fighter Wing to an ISR wing - except, in fact, the 188th started life as a reconnaissance unit. But still, to go from A-10s to RQ-9 Reapers (i.e., piloted aircraft to UAS) has got to sting.
A pair of U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft assigned to the 188th Fighter Wing, Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Fort Smith, Ark., fly in formation over Kansas, June 7, 2014.
