The A-10 “Thunderbolt II” had deadly effects during the 1991 Gulf War and in Iraq and Afghanistan following the September 11th attacks as a close-support and anti-tank aircraft. The aircraft is also known as the Warthog. The A-10 on display (Bureau# 76-0516) began its service with the 111th Fighter Wing, PA Air National Guard, in 1992 and designated as a weapons load trainer. The DVHAA acquired the aircraft in June 2011 and in April 2012 it was relocated from the PA Air National Guard’s display to its current location behind the museum. Please contact the museum if you have any information, comments, or recollections of this A-10 Thunderbolt II.
