In spite of all the reluctance, it appears the stalwart aircraft isn’t yet ready for the boneyard.
The U.S. Air Force has published its solicitation to defense companies to re-wing more than 100 A-10 Thunderbolt II close-air support mission aircraft.
The proposal, released May 25, calls for 112 wing sets and 15 additional kits over a five-year ordering period as part of the service’s A-10 Thunderbolt Advanced-Wing Continuation Kit or “ATTACK.”
The contract award is expected in fiscal 2019, the documents said.
