This year’s Family Day was one to remember as our wing celebrated not only time together with friends and families, but also the exciting news of the A-10 mission extension. The energy, pride, and support throughout the day truly reflected the strength of the 442d Fighter Wing family.

A huge thank you to Tech. Sgt. Christopher Tresner for the countless hours of coordination and hard work that helped make this event such a success. Your dedication and leadership were instrumental in bringing everyone together for an outstanding day.

We also want to recognize and thank, Warthog Booster Club, Beer Patrol, Webb City Elks Lodge, Amvets Post 143, and the numerous other local sponsors and volunteers who made this day possible!

Thank you to all of our members and your families who continue to make the 442d Fighter Wing such a special place to serve.

On Friday, May 1, 2026, past and current members of the 303d Fighter Squadron gathered to pay tribute to the late Lt. Col. John Michael “Yeti” Schriever, a former pilot with the 303d Fighter Squadron, at the 6th Annual Yeti Smoke BBQ cook-off.

Yeti Smoke is a 303d FS tradition, which is meant to carry on the legacy of togetherness that Yeti was known for.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and a huge thank you to everyone who participated!

Airmen of the 442d Fighter Wing recently executed a dynamic, stress-induced training environment designed to sharpen lethality, strengthen readiness, and reinforce the warrior ethos.

Operating in 24/7 conditions, Security Forces members trained in expeditionary skills, small unit tactics, offensive and defensive operations, and combat patrols, all while embracing the elements and pushing physical and mental limits. From constructing fighting positions to reacting to ambush, each evolution demanded critical thinking, grit, and teamwork.

This training strengthened cohesion, built resilience, and reinforced our commitment to being ready for the mission we’ve sworn an oath to uphold.

We would like to send a special thank you to the Kansas City Royals organization for the invitation to perform both the pre-game flyover and the on-field flag presentation at this season’s home opener at Kauffman Stadium. It was a tremendous honor to collaborate for this momentous event, and even better to do it with a Royals win!

Warrior culture and proven combat power were on full display as we wrapped up our latest exercise.

The 442d Fighter Wing integrated with operators from Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), providing precision close air support (CAS) to ground forces during scenarios designed to simulate combat.

Successful training like this isn't just a goal, it's the standard. We continue to prove our capability and contribution to the fight.

Mission complete.🐗💥✈️💪🏼
