HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M.
James Harkins, a QF-4 Drone pilot with the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron, poses for a photo in front of a QF-4 on Oct. 28, 2015 at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Harkins was the first civilian pilot to fly 1,000 hours in a QF-4, with all of those hours flown as a civilian. He will likely be the last pilot to earn his thousand-hour patch before the QF-4 is officially retired and replaced by the QF-16 at the end of 2016. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Emily A.
