Except for the popular "nose art", A-10s rarely carry any special color schemes. One exception is this A-10C of the Michigan Air National Guard that received this historic paint scheme and an over-sized version of the red devil from the unit's badge to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 107th Squadron. Designed to counter criticism that the US Air Force wasn't serious enough about close air support, the A-10 Thunderbolt II was first flown on May 10, 1972. The Thunderbolt II is a single-seat attack aircraft used to protect ground forces from tanks, armored vehicles and other ground targets. Nicknamed "Warthog," the A-10 is highly maneuverable at low speeds and low altitude and is capable of short take-offs and landings. It is designed for easy maintenance-many of its parts are interchangeable between the right and left side and it can operate from bases with limited facilities. The A-10 is expected to remain in service until 2028 or beyond. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
