After serving the Gunfighters for over a year-and-a-half as 366th Fighter Wing Commander, Jefferson J. O’Donnell relinquished his post the morning of Sept. 8 for a job at the Pentagon. Taking his place is Joseph D. Kunkel, who previously served as the Vice Commander of the 325th Fighter Wing, Air Combat Command, Tyndall AFB, Fla and is truly honored to be here.

“It’s sad to see him go,” Mayor Rich Sykes said. “He really became part of the family.”
