In 1972 the 23 TFW took over the assets and personnel of the 4033rd TFW at England AFB to operate LTV A-7D Corsair IIs. With the "EL" tail code, in 1981 it was the first wing to receive the Republic A-10 Thunderbolt IIs. This pre-production A-10 finished as a ground trainer for the Air Force., later becoming part of the National Museum of the United States Air Force Loan Program. It's displayed by the England Economic & Industrial Development District at Flying Tiger Heritage Park.
