A-10 unit reaches 10K combat hour milestone
Lt. Col. Richard Piazza, 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron director of operations, walks with Lt. Col. Sam "Spam" Milam, 75th EFS commander, on their way to congratulate Col. Raymond "Donk" Strasburger, 455th Expeditionary Operations Group commander, who flew as wingman on the 75th EFS's 10,000th combat flight hour mission. This was the first time a squadron deployed here reached 10,000 combat hours. The 75th EFS arrived here in September from Moody Air Force Base, Ga., for a four-month deployment, but was extended to six months. The A-10 Thunderbolt II was the first tactical fighter aircraft to deploy here in 2002.
