A-10’s take fini flight at Davis-Monthan AFB

Nearly fifty years of A-10 operations concluded as A-10C Thunderbolt IIs completed their final flights at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base on July 31, 2026. The aircraft transitioned from the base following a series of fini flights, signifying the end of an era for the installation. These maneuvers were performed by pilots and maintainers who have dedicated decades to operating this iconic fighter jet. This transition represents a significant change in operational capabilities for Davis-Monthan AFB. Moving forward, the A-10 fleet will continue its service with other units across the Department of Defense.
