U.S. Air Force Col. Joshua C. “Deuce” Waggoner, 122nd Fighter Wing commander, speaks at the Landing in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, June 3, 2022. “We want you to feel the pride and honor that we have in this community, in the Air National Guard family, in our city, in our state and in our nation,” said Waggoner. “We need your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandkids, and you to be that next generation of Blacksnakes. We need you to tell our story and talk about the 122nd Fighter Wing and that starts tonight.” Waggoner, along with the USAF Thunderbirds, the U.S. Special Operations Command Parachute Team, and members of the 122FW, were in attendance to show their support for the community of Fort Wayne and inform the public of the Fort Wayne Air Show being hosted at the Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base June 4-5, 2022.
