Some 25 British forward air controllers last month came to south Georgia for close air support familiarization training with A-10s from Moody Air Force Base. During Exercise Flying Rhino on Oct. 23, the British army and Royal Air Force controllers worked with pilots from Moody’s 74th Fighter Squadron and 75th FS, according to an Oct. 30 base release. The allies simulated combat conditions that they would expect to face while deployed. (Moody report by SSgt. Jamal D. Sutter)
