Round shaped coin, antique brass in color, 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

In 1991 the 110th Tactical Air Support Group transitioned from the Dragonfly to the OA-10 Thunderbolt II, and was redesignated the 110th Fighter Group. In June 1995, the 110th Fighter Group became the 110th Fighter Wing. On 1 March 2009, 110th Fighter Wing transitioned into the 110th Airlift Wing and, on 13 December 2014, was redeignated the 110th Attack Wing. The 110th Attack Wing, which formerly operated manned aircraft, now hosts an operations center for the MQ-1 Predator (shown above) and the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).
