Gowen Field will be buzzing with activity starting Monday as the Idaho Air National Guard begins hosting six F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the Arizona Air National Guard. The jets are assigned to the 195th Fighter Squadron, 162nd Wing, in Tucson, Ariz., and will be in Idaho from June 14-25 to train with A-10s from the Idaho Air National Guard's 190th Fighter Squadron. All flight operation will occur during normal daylight hours. In addition.
Exactly 75 years ago, the 190th Fighter Squadron became active as part of the Idaho Air National Guard's 124th Fighter Wing, so the guys who are now part of the unit are obviously in a celebratory mood. Proof of that: this specially-painted A-10 Thunderbolt II.
