Lt. Col. Ronald King (right), the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron, Det. 1 commander, and John Anderson (left), the 82nd ATRS, Det. 1 maintenance lead, perform a pre-flight inspection on a QF-16 drone before flight on Feb. 10, 2017 at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. King piloted the drone during the first flight since the 82nd ATRS, Det. 1 transitioned from QF-4 Phantoms to QF-16s. The QF-16 serves as a full-scale aerial target to test next-generation weapons systems. Detachment 1 is a geographically separated unit of the 53rd Wing, headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
