Pilots and crew from the West Virginia National Guard’s Counter Drug Program manned the final retirement flight of RC-26 Condor 94-0260, ending a distinguished career of service to the Mountain State and the nation January 6, 2023, in Bridgeport, West Virginia. The Condor is a twin turboprop surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft that performed a multitude of important roles including domestic counter drug missions, warzone counter-insurgency flights overseas, domestic homeland security missions, and disaster relief efforts both at home and abroad. All 11 RC-26 aircraft previously operated by the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard are now at their final resting place, the boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
