Five A-10s were flown from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, to D-M to become part of the 354th Fighter Squadron. These aircraft are replacing five older aircraft that are being recycled into the 355th Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group.
This is the second aircraft replenishing effort done here at D-M this year.
U.S. Air Force Col. Phil Wielhouwer, 355th Operations Group commander, communicates with maintainers as he sits in an A-10 Thunderbolt II at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., Oct. 25, 2013. Wielhouwer and four other D-M pilots traveled to Moody AFB, Ga., to bring back five A-10s. These planes were flown to Moody from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, after the 81st Fighter Squadron there was inactivated.
