What Missions Did The A-10 Warthog Perform For The US Military?

The Warthog has faithfully served for 47 years. We know look at some of the historic missions of the A-10.

The US Air Force wasn’t the first entity to use the F-16 in combat. But the USAF more than made up for lost time.

The P-51D Mustang was the game changer of WW2 air combat, especially in Europe.

Quite a few famous professional athletes served proudly in the US Air Force.

Long before Northrop succeeded with the B-2 Spirit, it had the YB-35 Flying Wing. What went wrong with it?

Though not quite as renowned as the P-51, the “Jug” was still a legendary fighter in the European Theater of WW2. And rightfully so.

The KC-135 outlasted the KC-10 as the USAF’s midair refueler. Simple Flying now examines the Stratotanker’s military mission roles.

E-7A Wedgetails are needed to replace the aging E-3 Sentries and ensure the US Air Force can continue to monitor the battlespace.

“No Comm, No Bomb!” goes a USAF Communications Officers’ joke. The EA-11A BACN helps sustain those comms.

The KC-10 was designed to supplement the KC-135 for USAF aerial refueling ops. Yet the KC-10 is actualte first of the two to be retired. Why?
