Show TIMES AROUND HILL August 30, 2007 388th Fighter Wing can mosey on over for Round Up Fundraiser BY BETH YOUNG Standard-Examiner staff byoung@standard.net U.S. Air Force A mobile, unmanned tank was designed and set up by range personnel to serve as a target for precision bombs deployed during the Weapons System Evaluation Program. HAMMER From 1 "It's different carrying and employing live munitions," said Capt. Nick Edwards, a pilot with Hill AFB's 421st Fighter Squadron, who participated in Combat Hammer. "I've never shot the AGM-65K Maverick before. Your heart races a bit, but it's great to see the results of our training and how we would deploy the weapon in combat." The 86th FWS, which is based in Eglin AFB, Fla., established a detachment at Hill AFB in 2002 to conduct larger-scale exercises over the Utah Test and Training Range. "The UTTR is a national asset. Its airspace is bigger and higher, allowing us to drop a more diverse set of weapons," said Zemke. Five test sites on the southern portion of the range were configured for the evaluations. This year's Combat Hammer saw "I've never shot the AGM-65K Maverick before. Your heart races a bit, but it's great to see the results of our training and how we would deploy the weapon in combat." CAPT. NICK EDWARDS, pilot, 421st Fighter Squadron the first small diameter bomb and MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle deployed as part of the evaluations. Participating ACC units included F.22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley AFB, Va., F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB, S.C., F-15 Eagles from the 366th Fighter Wing at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, A-10 Warthogs from the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB, Nev., and MQ-9 Reapers from 432nd Wing at Creech AFB, Nev. The 388th Fighter Wing spouses are hosting their annual cowboy-themed Round Up Fundraiser, Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. in the Club Hill ballroom. "It's going to be a great night out," said Stacey Christopherson, Round Up chairwoman. "The band 'Full Circle' will be there. Folks can gamble with funny money and bid on a few items that they can't live without through our live and silent auctions." In addition to the fun mock gambling and the entertainment from a live band, attendees will have the opportunity to help out many of the base's organizations that benefit airmen and their families. "The programs funded by this event offer support for those at Hill AFB who make enormous sacrifices to protect our way of life," said Cathy Graham, part of the 388th Fighter Wing Honorary Commander program. "It is a joy to give back to our neighbors at Hill who give up so much for all of us." Some of the organizations that will benefit from the fundraiser are Operation Warm Heart; Junior Enlisted Association; Hearts Apart, which helps families when their military member is deployed; Airman's Attic, which provides food and household goods to families in emergencies; Airmen Against Drunk Driving; Wolf Creek Deployment Retreats; and Enlisted/Officers' Spouses Club Scholarships. "It is so exciting to see the community come together for one night and raise money for the amazing programs that Hill AFB has to offer for the airmen and their families that are assigned here," Christopherson said. "My goal this year is to raise $25,000. We have already raised $5,000 in sponsorships, so we are really looking forward to seeing how much the live and silent auctions will raise." Tickets are $12 at the door. Heavy hors d'oeuvres and "funny money" are included in ticket prices. It is open to all ranks. Attendees must be 21 years or older and an authorized Department of Defense ID card holder. Mock gambling will be conducted in accordance with Utah law. Individuals or businesses interested in donating items to the auction or sponsoring the event, should contact Round Up chairwoman Stacey Christopherson at cl3company@yahoo.com.
