455th Air Expeditionary Wing surpasses combat hour milestone

Aircrews flying A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from the 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron and F-15E Strike Eagles from the 336th EFS accomplished the feat in May while providing close-air support and airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for American and coalition ground troops throughout Afghanistan.
