A-10C Thunderbolt II #79-0104 served with the Maryland Air National Guard\'s 104th Fighter Squadron until the unit retired its A-10s in September 2025. On 23 September 2025, 79-0104 departed Warfield Air National Guard Base as one of the squadron\'s final two aircraft, marking the end of A-10 operations in Maryland. This withdrawal was part of the Air Force\'s broader A-10 divestment plan. After departure, 79-0104 was expected to transfer either to another unit or to long-term storage with the 309th AMARG at Davis-Monthan AFB.
Fairchild A-10C Thunderbolt II Designed to counter criticism that the US Air Force wasn\'t serious enough about close air support, the A-10 Thunderbolt II was first flown on May 10, 1972. The Thunderbolt II is a single-seat attack aircraft used to protect ground forces from tanks, armored vehicles and other ground targets. Nicknamed \"Warthog,\" the A-10 is highly maneuverable at low speeds and low altitude and is capable of short take-offs and landings. It is designed for easy maintenance-many of its parts are interchangeable between the right and left side and it can operate from bases with limited facilities. The A-10 is expected to remain in service until 2028 or beyond.
