he final three A-10 Warthogs left Pope AFB, N.C. last week, making the flight to their new home at Moody AFB, Ga. The Hog transfer started last summer and the 23rd Fighter Group at Moody began flying the first of its upgraded A-10C aircraft in September.
The first A-10 Thunderbolt II has left the Idaho Air National Guard as part of the Air Force’s service-wide effort to divest its close air support aircraft. In late March, the wing's A-10s took on their final mission when multiple aircraft and over 300 Airmen deployed to U.S. Central Command.
