HERE IS A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT THIS PLANE FROM THE HOBBYMASTER COLLECTOR
:
"
October 1975 saw delivery of the first USAF A-10a and deployment in March 1976. Built
specifically for close ground support the pilot is protected by titanium armor while being
covered by a bubble canopy giving a commanding view. The Warthog has everything
needed to survive, dual engines; self-sealing fuel cells; redundant flight control systems
protected by titanium armor; a 30 mm seven-barrel Gatling gun; a wide array of bombs
and missiles. This plane packs a heavy punch and can stay on scene a long time to
deliver its payload.
In the Gulf War, A-10s had a mission capable rate of 95.7 percent, flew 8,100 sorties and
launched 90 percent of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles and were vital assets during
Operation Desert Storm and Operation Noble Anvil.
In June 1982 the 926th TFG converted to the A-10 Thunderbolt II. In 1990 and 1991 they
participated in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. In 1992 the group
was re-designated the 926th FG and converted to F-16’s only to re-designated 926th FW
in October 1994. In 1995 the 926th FW began conversion to the A/OA-10 Thunderbolt II
which was completed in September 1997. After September 11, 2001 the 926th deployed
to Bagram Airbase, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in early 2002"
