D-M A-10A graduation

Lt. Col. Thomas Zupancich, 358th Fighter Squadron commander, presents 1st Lt. Joshua Jones, 358th Fighter Squadron, with the academic award during the A-10A course graduation here Oct. 2. Lieutenant Jones was one of nine pilots to graduate the last A-10A class, which has been taught here for 32 years. The course is a six-month class that provides the pilots with 215 hours of academics, 52 hours in the simulator, 41 sorties, and 87 hours of flying time. With training complete, each pilot is now bound for their first operational assignment and some may even see combat within a matter of months. The pilots will also eventually cycle back here for the conversion course. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Senior Airman Jacqueline Romero)
