The end of an era

Lieutenant Col. Ronald King, 82nd Aerial Target Squadron, Detachment 1 commander and Mike Fogle, QF-4 Drone mechanic, go through a pre-flight checklist June 3, 2015 at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. King flew his first solo flight in the QF-4 Drone on June 3, making him the last pilot who will ever learn to fly the QF-4. At Holloman, QF-4s can be flown either manned or unmanned and are used as remotely controlled unmanned targets for air-to-air and ground-to-air weapons systems evaluations, development and testing.
