First A-10 Thunderbolt IIs Arrive at Fort Wayne


The first four of what is expected to be a compliment of twenty A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter planes arrived at Fort Wayne IAP on June 30th. The A-10s are replacing the Block 30 F-16s that the 122nd FW has been flying the past few years. The aging F-16s are being retired and the Indiana Air National Guard will transition to the larger fighters. Hanger space is being expanded to house the bigger aircraft.
