PUYALLUP, Wash. - Washingtoner -- Winchester Over The Hammurabi by Rick Herter, an eerie filter of moonlight sifted through a thin overcast and as the A-10's attacked, huge secondary explosions and massive fires lit up the surrounding landscape.

This dramatic mission was flown by Major Jim "Chocks" Ewald and his wingman near the beginning of the air campaign of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March of 2003. "Chocks" belonged to the 110th Fighter Wing from Battle Creek Michigan, part of the Michigan Air National Guard. On this mission specifically, A-10's flown by pilots from the 110th Fighter Wing, a unit of the Michigan Air National Guard. The Hawg groups assaulted a huge region involved by the vaunted Hammurabi Division of the Iraqi Republican Guard. The target area included ammo storage buildings, command and control facilities, tanks, trucks and other assets.
