The Idaho Air National Guard welcomed 11 F-18s from the U.S. Navy’s Carrier Air Wing Three based out of Oceana, Virginia to Gowen Field on April 26, 2019. Pilots and ground crew trained alongside the 124th Fighter Wing Airmen, sending off eight of the F-18 jets with six of Idaho’s A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, twice daily for a week, including night flying. “In order to maintain combat readiness, it is critical that we train with units from other services that operate different fighter aircraft,” said Col. Tim Donnellan, commander of the 124th Fighter Wing. “This type of training is invaluable in order to establish interoperability before we partner in combat.” (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt.
