Connecticut state officials have filed a request for a permanent injunction barring the “illegal removal” of any aircraft from the Connecticut Air National Guard’s 103rd Fighter Wing. The ANG unit at Bradley Field stands to lose its A-10s under BRAC 2005. The state has been fighting removal of the aircraft since last summer’s BRAC deliberations, at one point getting a US district judge to bar the BRAC commission from including the cut in their recommendations. That didn’t last.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
