Unfortunately the final year for the A-10 demo team and they put on one hell of a show for us! Seen here with gear and flaps out on a nice low photo pass as "HAWG1". Named "Memphis Belle III" and based out of Davis-Monthan Air Base.

On display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. This 353 TFS, 354th TFW aircraft was flown by Capt. Paul T. Johnson on 21 Jan 1991 on a long SAR for the downed F-14B crew of VF-103 during Op Desert Storm. For this he was awarded the Air Force Cross.

One of 31 aircraft on display all around the Lackland parade field.

Pictured on the ramp of homebase Davis Monthan. The Warthog is missing some parts of the tail, just these which are usually colored for recognition of the squadron. But the fuselage shows the 357th TFTS badge, part of the 355th Tactical Training Wing which is shown with additional marks on the tail. Serial 224 was stored at AMAC on 19 April 1992 with inventory code AC0056. It left the depot on 23 June 1994 and was afterwards scrapped.

After service, this 270 became an instructional airframe at McChord AFB (WA) from December 1992. From June 1995, it started a career as a preserved aircraft at the gate of McChord.
