Airmen and aircraft from the Air National Guard’s 120th, 140th, and 150th Fighter Wings have been sent to Kunsan AB, South Korea, where they have formed the 186th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron. The Guardsmen from Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico, respectively, who now answer to the nickname the “Rocky Mountain Coalition,” are training with Kunsan’s 8th Fighter Wing. The training regimen calls for pilots and ground crews to assimilate into the Wolf Pack as full members of the wing, ready to respond when and where needed.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
